Patcher API broken with the move to CDN.

The info API interface returns wrong URL.
For example

Code:

curl http://www.wowinterface.com/patcher/info-8736.xml

returns

Code:

<UpdateUI>
	<Current>
		<UID>8736</UID>
		<UIName>BadBoy: Anti Spam Automatic Reporter</UIName>
		<UIFile>BadBoy-v6.634.zip</UIFile>
		<UIAuthorName>funkydude</UIAuthorName>
		<UIVersion>v6.634</UIVersion>
		<UIMD5>4001c9295a20fd4421d8c057115d0ab0</UIMD5>
		<UISize>17092</UISize>
		<UIFileURL>http://fs.wowinterface.com/patcher.php?id=8736</UIFileURL>
	</Current>
</UpdateUI>

UIFileURL points to nonexistent URL (404).
Then again the usual download link:

Code:

curl -I http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/download8736-BadBoyAntiSpamAutomaticReporter

returns

Code:

I would really appreciate if that part of the API would be fixed. I can of course just use the download link, but this seems a lot cleaner.

Thanks.

Should be fixed now, sorry we moved our servers on to a cloud system so lots of things changed. Totally forgot about the legacy patcher api.

It wasnt the move to the CDN since that happend 4 months ago. Its just that the server fs.wowinterface went poof with the move.

I'm probably the only one still using that thing

Hmm seems like it's still broken. It returns

Code:

<UIFileURL>http://www.wowinterface.com/getfile.php?id=8736</UIFileURL>

Shouldn't it be

Code:

http://cdn.wowinterface.com/downloads/getfile.php?id=8736

Bump. I think you missed my edit.
