Plugin Repository Problems

[indifference_engine]

Hi, I've created a repository for hosting an applet that I've written. I'm hosting it on a Google Apps site. The repo is here <http://www.woodbine.me.uk/squeezebox/repo.xml>

I can see the applet in the Applet installer list but it will not install. The url in the repo is correct as I can download the zip by putting it into my browser. The sha1 is correct (verified by numerous methods) but SqueezePlay seems to disagree (see log)- why?? When I host the exact same files on my local web server I have no problems at all, the sha1 checksums match and the applet installs. The log file is below (I've enabled debug-level logging for applet installer and net.http)

I've noticed a DNS lookup in the log, could this be the problem? Google Apps is a maze of DNS CNAME recorde and url forwarders, could this be confusing the applet installer?

If Google Apps is an unsuitable site for hosting repos, can anyone suggest a free service that would work?

That's not the real url of your file. I'm not sure the Applet installer can handle redirects. Can't you just use the absolute url?

Thanks Michael, I suspected as much.

Can't you just use the absolute url?

Probably but I'm not sure how I would find it, any ideas?

No idea - but didn't you install the redirect from the "friendly" url in the xml file to the google url?

I think the friendly url is a redirect of another redirection done by Google. I've found this site http://unshort.me that is supposed to give the "true" url but that doesn't work either. My ISP doesn't give me any webspace so I think I'm going to have to look elsewhere. Thanks for your help.

Have you tried hosting on google code - this is what several people do and this works. If you try to install my BBCRadio applet from the main repository this should load and its hosted on google code.

Applet installer uses the standard http code in SqueezePlay - from a quick look this does not seem to support redirection, so is likely to be the problem (but I've only spent a couple of minutes looking where I would expect to see some!)

Suggest you try Google code...

Thanks Triode. I've managed to persuade a friend to let me have his otherwise unused webspace so everything is working now.
