[New app]: Adobe Digital Editons

[jms-du-se]

What is the new application?

Reader for E-books.

The app contains a Auto Update function, using ADEAutoUpdater_450.exe

The AutoUpdater seems to use the following parameters.

"ADEAutoUpdater_450.exe" -checkForUpdate https://adedownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/sha2/adeupdaterconfig.cfg 4.5.12.112 en_US

Unfortunately I haven't been able to see the network traffic (Uri), but it is connecting to adedownload.adobe.com

Vendor site

https://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions.html

Does the vendor require a sign-in to download the app?

No

Does the application include an updater?

Yes

Must have missed that. Sorry! 😔 I'll see if I can add the app later and create a pr.

This is more complicated than I thought. The remote server is responding with the "wrong" content type (application/octet-stream) and I don't really know how to convert this. I also tried to solve this using EvergreenInvoke-Webrequest, but converting to UTF-8 resulted in encoding issues with BOM.

Any tips or guidance is appreciated. 😊

[aaronparker]

Try:

Invoke-EvergreenRestMethod -Uri "https://adedownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/sha2/adeupdaterconfig.cfg"

PowerShell 5.1 returns the BOM data at the beginning of the JSON: 

[jms-du-se]

Yes, removing the BOM data was the main problem, but I found a solution.

    # Removing first 3 bytes from array by selecting the full length and stripping first 3
    Write-Verbose "Remove-ByteOrderMark (UTF8 BOM)"
    $OutputBytes = $updateFeed[3..$updateFeed.Length]
    $updateFeed = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString($OutputBytes) | ConvertFrom-Json

Will create a PR now. :)

Sorry to bother you again. It seems that the version number in the file https://adedownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/sha2/adeupdaterconfig.cfg is not the latest.

The latest version is 4.5.12.112 and not 4.5.7.179634. Not sure how to resolve this.

Please remove the PR for now.
