Hi,
I just put a new development release of pca online (20080307-01). The
only change is:
* Try to download patchdiag.xref from alternative sunsolve URL
The URL http://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref is now being tried before
the official xref download link (/pdownload.do?target=patchdiag.xref).
Some people had reported that the above link is more reliable in handing
out the current xref file, and it never requires a Sun Online Account. I
did some testing in the last few days, and can confirm this. This URL is
not documented by Sun anywhere, but as the official link doesn't work
reliable, I guess it's better to use the unofficial, working link.
If download from the new link fails, pca will still try the official
link (at first with SOA data if available, then without). The amount of
code needed for a simple download of one file from sunsolve is kind of
ridiculous by now ..
If you have experiences to share regarding patchdiag.xref downloads
problems, please post them here.
Martin.
