PI13915: DIRECT UPDATE NOT WORKING WITH WORKLIGHT 6.1 AND APP BUILT WITH STUDIO 6.0

Download for IBM Worklight V6.1.0 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After upgrading their server to 6.1, the customer found that
  Direct Update was not longer working for iOS.  I had the
  customer apply the latest ifix to the server and their were
  mixed results.  Direct Update continued to work for Android
  regardless of the Studio version.  For iOS, Direct Update only
  works for an app built with the same version of Studio,
  contrary to what the documentation says should work.

Problem conclusion

• From 6.1 onwards the worklight supports resumable download. When
  older version of client is connecting to the server, it is
  looking for the Range header and when it is not there, the
  server is not functioning properly. Fixed the behavior of the
  server such that it should work even with the older version of
  the clients.
