How do people go about updating scripts remotely

sorry, this was a double post

Believe this is done with llRemoteLoadScriptPin/llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin since it pre-dates appearance of http loading ability in LSL.

(Bah, was just writing that heh, you beat me to it)

Yup, llHTTPRequest does make it easier though, as what you can do is have a script check if it's outdated, if it is then it creates a PIN for itself and sends it to your server, which can register that PIN along with the object's key. The server can then communicate to a central object somewhere using the XML RPC functions (only seem to work for receiving data).
This central object then gives an updater (with the new script) to the owner of the item that is outdated, and when the owner triggers it, it will use llRemoteLoadScriptPin() to put it into the old object in place of the original script, thus updating it.

Oh, as a note, I wouldn't hand out the updater automatically upon finding an update available, I'd simply have the object in question IM it's owner so they know, and have an option somewhere to trigger the update process. This at least removes the potential for any failures in communication (since HTTPRequest tells you if you couldn't connect), or the owner receiving multiple copies of the updater every time the object checks for updates.
