urlargs not replaced

I now have one url which acts as both an update and server site. But when checking the %urlargs% is not being replaced. Then I get a CheckingFailed with an errormessage displaying the url with %urlargs% still in the url. %file% has been replaced though.

My guess is that the urlargs are not being replaced during a check but only when retrieving the update files. Am I right.

I figured out that this is indeed the case. Therefore I need to have two separate urls to be able to use urlargs. One as a server url without urlargs and one for the updates with the urlargs being replaced.

The downside of this is that although I block updates for a particular user the user will still know there is an update available because the wyserver.wys is not blocked.

To solve this problem I had to use the -server parameter and add this programatically to the command. This means I have to include the url in my program rather than having it in the client.wys file.

I'm actually wondering about the reason not to support urlargs in the server url.

OK, we'll fix this in wyUpdate 2.6.15.
