Updating AppImageUpdate with itself does not work as expected about appimageupdate HOT 9 CLOSED

Well, initially you suggested to look for updates only on errors. That's what's implemented. I don't see the bug here, the self update is not triggered at all, everything works as intended.

Feel free to reopen if you think this behavior should change.

...yes but I believe this AppImage is not up to date. Is it?

Ok, I think I misunderstood your report. You're saying that AppImageUpdate fails to update itself when called like AppImageUpdate.AppImage AppImageUpdate.AppImage. However, that doesn't have anything to do with the self-updating functionality.

I'd suggest to retitle the issue.

Possibly related to the broken update check #21.

Right, the current one (as of now) has d978f47d348054ad6cfb35e5e8f1cd8f26c49c3a

I adjusted the title, and would ask you to take care not to use the words "self" and "update" in the same context like this to avoid ambiguous situations like this. I thought of AppImageSelfUpdate, which is implemented in AppImageUpdate AppImages, serving as a kind of reference implementation.

Ah ok. Thanks for looking into this.

Maybe helpful to reproduce this. Zipped for GitHub Issues.

Turned out the update check had a few minor flaws (fixed in AppImageCommunity/zsync2@f61d8ac).

Another issue occurred due to libzsync not being able to resolve redirections of URLs. To fix that behaviour, I'm using a HEAD request to resolve the final URL before passing it to libzsync, which seems to have solved the issue. See AppImageCommunity/zsync2@af6aab8.

I'm closing this issue, but would ask you to verify that it works now.
