I have a script to check distribution5.html for a new version. If a new version is found, it will download flash-player from this URL...
However, that just redirects to distribution5.html. I have to manually visit distribution5.html and click on the download URL for it to work. Please provide a URL that allows for programmatically downloading flash player NPAPI Linux (64-bit).
Hi,
We now have a version xml file that lists all of the versions for the various OS/browsers that customers can use to programmatically check for a new version. The file is posted at https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/masterversion/masterversion.xml . Using this to check for an update is the preferred method as opposed to using the distribution page.
With regards to offering a programmatic way to download the licensed installers, there currently are no plans to change this and offer the links without logging in to the distribution page first. The behaviour you are observing is expected behaviour.
