By "archived" you mean zipped... right?
Is there any format other than DMG that will automatically open when
safari has downloaded it?

I have a strange requirement.
Whenever someone downloads our installer, we need to (on the
server) insert a unique identifier somewhere into the installer.
Then, during the installation, we use this unique suffix when
making requests to another web service.
My application is packaged as a PKG (not a "flat-file" - I was
considering just renaming the downloaded file server-side and
checking it during install) and now I am wondering how to do this...
How does one normally embed some kind of unique identifier into
each installer? My server is running linux, so the solution would
have to work there....
Where do you want to embed the ID:
[ ] The name of the package
[ ] Inside the package bundle in a file
[ ] Inside the Info.plist of the package
?
Since your package can only be download if it's archived or inside a
disk image, in all cases, you will need to have some processing
being done.
