Hi guys & gals,
I want to implement tool similar to Apple software update. For this I tried to understand working Apple software update in following way.
In order to know what exactly happens, I run "Wireshark" to capture packets & clicked on Apple software update. My mac sent a GET request for xml file to following URL:
After receiving this xml file, software update tool processed it & generated another xml file containing 7 digit keys as string values to inform apple update server about offered updates to my mac. & also populated tableview in update window with required updates.
My requirement now became how did update tool populated that tableview. So I went through that xml once again. I found that there are various Distribution file(.dist) links contained in that xml.
My query is does software update tool executed these distribution files in order to know what are required updates on my mac or by any other mean does software update obtained that info(required update for my mac)?
Thanks,
Palav
