[Mozilla Enterprise] automatic download latest versions

[Thomas Seeling]

Hallo,


ok, so there was someone who decided that it's too much work to 
reconfigure a "bouncer" setup every some weeks to reflect the latest 
version when asked an alias.

I'm now using a different method to find out the latest version.
Regrettably this is way more network traffic than simply sending out a 
HEAD request and parsing the returned Location: attribute ;(
So thank you Mozilla for saving yourself some seconds of work but cause a 
lot more traffic.

curl --silent 'https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/' | awk 
-F'"' '/Windows in German/{print$2}'

Tschau...Thomas
