Sure, I can provide the file-specific URL, but actually my intention was not to send announcements to this mailing list each time I upload a new build, but rather provide (once) that base URL (which is constant) and let people check that repository whenever they want. According to David Vanderschel, it is possible to access to the base URL without using Javascript at all, so I fail to see where the problem is. In any case, if someone ever has a problem accessing that repository, let me know and I'll provide the file-specific URL. -- Dani Moncayo
