check for updates (#243)

(Bug Reports)

I have version 6.16.4892.38506 but there is a version 6.17 available. Nevertheless, SIM returns on 'check for updates' that my version is up to date.

I have seen this behaviour also in version 5.

Could this be the result of some firewall or router settings?

It could be caused by firewall settings, settings of other security software or by proxy settings.

SIM uses a simple HTTP GET request to address: www.softwareideas.net/app/version.txt
