Since the updatear is released under lgpl due to the addon classes I used, the source code is pretty much open source. Just write me a pm and I'll send it to you (after the weekend since I am not at home atm writing on a mobile phone
) Decompiling applications is never a good thing to do in terms of legality. I don't think you will find anything useful though, I use Javas very standard functions to open streams to the web server. If they go fubar, there's no point of trying something else (and its really just affecting a few people)...
