download a custom setup file

[balaraju mandala <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I need good help from all of you. My problem is i need to give a user a URL
link which will download a application to usersystem. I will append a id to
that URL, so that when ever a user clicks and downloading application that
application will need to read or recognizes that value which we append to
URL and stores anywhere for future reference. Can anybody give some ideas
for this to work.

regards,
Balaraju M

What type of application is this and how is it packaged?

For example, if you were distributing a JAR or, say, a setup ZIP file
containing an installer, then you could always just build the JAR or ZIP
file on the fly with that user's custom configuration, and return that
to the user.

Of course, you wouldn't want to be generating a ZIP file upon every
request if this were a high-traffic system.
