[Question] How does sparkle ensure that "usage statistics reports" are sent by sparkle.
Hi,
My questions is much more of a information query. In the wiki about Usage Statistics you have said that Sparkle enabled client can trigger a GET request to the appcast url like: http://you.url/app.xml?cpu=...&.. ! What if a bot manually triggers such a request, won't that be a problem ?
Sparkle does nothing to ensure the statistics are sent by an actual Sparkle client.

Is that a bug/feature request or Sparkle has specific reasons for why it does not care ?
Also on a related note, are there existing frameworks which enable collection of usage statistics (like sparkle) and could be used with linux based applications. Well, any generic framework would be of help. I want to design something similar for a linux based application and did not want to reinvent the wheel.
No, no specific reason. Let's call this a feature request.
I don't know of a generic cross-platform tool; sorry.
