I actually wanted to do something like "if error then set server to 'needs attention'" but if this is normal then that wont work. Is there a way to see that this is "normal" then?

@god-tony: Would it be possible with a cvar to say which type of method you have? (steamtools/curl/sockets) ? Defaulting to check for all 3, that way it would save a error message.

C'mon, guys, write some more plugins that use Updater! Literally every single autoupdating plugin on my server is one that I wrote.

I'm limited as to which ones I'd add auto-updating to.

MapChooser Extended and BuiltinVotes MapChooser are dependent on the BuiltinVotes Extension I also wrote. BVE 1.1 and MCE 1.8 required updating to BuiltinVotes 0.5.0 because of changes to the extension. This makes Updates to them unsuitable for auto-updating.

MapChooser Extended Sounds depends MapChooser Extended and will likely only be updated when MCE is updated.

Name Change Punisher is essentially never going to change again unless someone finds a major bug. Its functionality also exists in SMAC.

That leaves [TF2] Force Holidays, which will likely add Updater support in its next release.

I have a little problem with this plugin:

My update.txt (and updated files too) are hosted on GitHub and I access them via an URL that looks like https://raw.github.com/wathever[...]/update.txt
This plugin seems to first use the SteamTools extension to download the update.txt but I think it doesn't understand SSL.
If I use the cURL extension instead, everything works just fine.

Is it possible to make this plugin use cURL extension first so it works with https url ?
Thanks.

Then the download will fail for servers that are only running SteamTools or Sockets. At this point I can't support a feature that will only work with one extension.

Well, I don't really see the drawbacks of having either one more functionality or nothing more.
If I correctly understand you, if someday SteamTools is updated to support https, you wouldn't be happy because Socket's doesn't ?
Anyway, thanks for your fast answer

With a closer look, SteamTools might support "https" URLs but without the security. If that's the case then support could be added to Updater for these URLs. I'll have to test it when I have time.
