Options > Update now fails (404 status)

[kynnjo]

Clicking on the [Update now] button of the Greasefire Preferences dialog fails immediately with the error message:

Error updating: status = 0x0 http = 404

FWIW, as of today the content of the file at http://skrul.com/projects/greasefire/indexes/latest is the string

2012-06-23T09:00:00Z

but neither of the following exists:

http://skrul.com/projects/greasefire/indexes/2012-06-23T09:00:00Z/
http://skrul.com/projects/greasefire/indexes/index_2012-06-23T09:00:00Z.jar

A good candidate for the source of this problem is the update.sh, since it does not check for the success of the preceding steps before updating the /projects/greasefire/indexes/latest file. As a result, the latter can easily contain incorrect information.

I patched update.sh, and will do a pull request shortly.

Is there any way you could post this info with more detailed instructions on the ff Greasefire add on page? I can probably figure out how to fix this through trial and error but I fear that my instructions wouldnt help the folks at mozilla.com complaining about the 404 they get when trying to update.
