xul update problem

[Daniel Wagner]

Hi.
I try to create auto update mechanism in xul application using builtin feature Components.interfaces.nsIApplicationUpdateService. Unfortunately whatever xml file I use xul responds with

*** AUS:SVC Checker: checkForUpdates, force: true
*** AUS:SVC Checker:getUpdateURL - update URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/update.xml?v=1.0.1&b=20130528&force=1
*** AUS:SVC gCanCheckForUpdates - able to check for updates
*** AUS:SVC Checker:checkForUpdates - sending request to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/update.xml?v=1.0.1&b=20130528&force=1
*** AUS:SVC Checker:onProgress - 422/422
UPDATE - update check progress
*** AUS:SVC Checker:onLoad - request completed downloading document
*** AUS:SVC Checker:updates get - invalid <update/>, ignoring...
*** AUS:SVC Checker:onLoad - number of updates available: 0

I used this xml and it doesn't work at all

Maybe someone had succeed to build working update mechanism in xul application

I looks like adding 'name' attribute to <update/> tag solved problem. dunno why.
