Downloading managed application?

[JeffSchilling]

Question of the day:

I upload a new version of my app to my shine instance.

If my S3 path is set to 'releases', I get a version URL of /release/
appname.version in the appcast.

How are folks handling the redirection of this to the S3 bucket?

I see download.php, but don't see the relationship between the bits.

Thanks in advance.

Point your users to the download script like this:

http://shine.your-domain.com/download.php?id=1

(where the id is the id of the app you want them to download)

and Shine will automatically log the download and then redirect them
to the file in S3.

In my specific setup, I've created a DNS CNAME for
amz.clickontyler.com which points to my S3 bucket. That way, I get the
benefit of S3 file hosting, and it appears to users that they never
leave my domain when downloading. Doing this is, of course, optional.

That make sense?

Completely.
