Better would be:

    http://www.mydomain.com/files/updates/MyApp.txt

Which contains the most recent version number, a tab separator and the 
link to the latest version.  Your app would just check the version 
number and compare it with the version number running.  If the version 
is newer, get it from the link after the tab.
