Rad Studio 2007.
I'd like my ap to be able to check our server to see if an update is available.  I would guess that the ap would send some kind of message and the server would return the current version number.

Can anyone point me to any documentation that discusses this or provide any other help. Our server runs Linux and probably Apache FWIW.

Thanks

I'm not sure how you would want to implement this option to your 
application. But, I just wrote my own updater for my server so I can give 
you an idea of how I did it.

I wanted my server to manageable by itself (update itself and carry on with 
jobs)... I just used FTP to do my work. I had it connect to an FTP server 
with its own login and download a "latestversion.txt" file and open it up to 
read... After it was done checking if the server was the latest version or 
not, it would take the process necessary using a couple simple algorithms I 
wrote.

Not sure if it helps but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
