Hello,
Is anyone aware if a .JSON or XML file exists (and is regularly maintained) which contains all current versions, release dates and direct download urls for all OpenSSL releases?
It would be a useful file that could be queried with automation in order to download or alert on the existence of new releases.
For software deployment teams that use PowerShell on Windows, there are PowerShell modules such as Evergreen (https://stealthpuppy.com/evergreen/), that can keep track of current release
versions if the data is served in certain data formats .JSON or .XML are probably the easiest to read. For applications where the only recourse is to use web page scraping, Nevergreen (https://github.com/DanGough/Nevergreen) could
be used - but this method is prone to failure if the layout of the url (webpage) ever changes.
The only method I'm aware of to find current OpenSSL releases is to webscrape the OpenSSL downloads page (https://www.openssl.org/source/)
reading the release information from the table
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
