Support absolute paths to updater resources

• Version:

"electron": "1.7.4",
"electron-builder": "19.13.0",
"electron-updater": "2.4.4",

• Target: Mac and Windows

In a previous version of the electron-updater, the latest-mac.json file contained a fully qualified path to download the next application version, for example:

{
  "version": "0.1.12",
  "releaseDate": "2017-07-25T17:28:28.808Z",
  "url": "https://desktop-release.notion-static.com/Notion-0.1.12-mac.zip"
}

However the new latest-mac.yml and the old windows latest.yml do not provide a full url:

version: 0.1.12
releaseDate: '2017-07-25T17:28:28.820Z'
githubArtifactName: Notion-0.1.12-mac.zip
path: Notion-0.1.12-mac.zip

This is problematic for me because we moved S3 buckets and our new one sits behind cloudflare. The old mac applications were able to update, but the newer mac apps and all the windows apps were not able to make the transition over to the new bucket.

My point is, it would be really nice if we use fully qualified urls 😃

Can we also have an option to generate absolute urls in latest.yml? It would be nice to avoid editing yml files between building and publishing.

@liliakai For what? Why your new version is not hosted on the same server where old version?
