I'm actually having a problem with this.
Recently, my hosting company moved my site to a Windows IIS server
with no hope of going back to a *nix-based box. Since then, my version
checking routine has been broken. Serving the version control file (a
dictionary saved / served as a text file) from my own system works
fine, but it gives me a parse error:
-----
2004-06-25 19:40:26.031 MyApp[5465] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not
proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Resources/types.plist
The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected
in the plist.
-----
... again, this works fine when hosted from my Mac. It's only when the
versioncontrol.txt file is served from the IIS server that I get this
error.
The server is obviously modifying the content as it's being served.
This could be fixed easily enough, I'm sure, by changing it to
something like '.dat' and having the version info be served as an
'application/octet-stream' but that doesn't help fix the problem for my
existing users.

I have noticed a new wave of applications that
automaticly check their version against an online
database at launch to determine if they are running
the latest version. Are there any online resources or
guides for setting this kind of system up, i would
like to add it to my software. Thanks Guy!
