Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a reconfigurable tool for managing the downloading of content from, while reporting information to, various content providers and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) through a single installed instance of the reconfigurable tool. In some embodiments, the tool includes a container application that is used to download content that is supplied by various content providers. The tool also includes a configuration file. The configuration file configures operation of the application to download content from a particular content host. The configuration also specifies reporting parameters that identify what information to report, when to report the information, and to whom the information is reported as part of the content download. Using this tool, content providers and CDNs are able to provide customizable and unique user experiences without modifying the code base of the application and without having to develop and maintain their own proprietary download manager applications.
