Updater for your game - a problem

[Leander]

Thanks for your replies.

Which software should I use instead of ZoneAlarm?

Personally, I use COMODO, but it's not very good.

Truth is, software firewalls don't offer a lot of protection, and you should mostly leave them disabled.

If you need a firewall, get a hardware one.

I am behind a router anyway...but don't know how secure it is.

Ok, my updater is almost finished. The remaining problem is how MMF2 knows if the download was successful. It knows if the download has been interrupted but not if the correct file was downloaded.

I use the Download object...it downloads a file but if this file does not exist on my server, still something is downloaded...a file with an error 404 (not found) in it.

I need something that tests if a file really exists online and if my webspace can be reached. "Download file..." either downloads the file or downloads a generated error 404.

Any ideas?

Use the Get object to ask a script online if it exists or not. If you don't receive a YES or NO from the script it means that the script wasn't even accessible in the first place.
