Redirect of content-url possible?

[chauthai]

Is it possible to have a redirect behind a content-url? e.g. a user is from a specific country and gets only updates for his region.

No, I don't think it will work with redirects. But you can try to control that from the JS side.

1. Detect user's country.
2. Set config-file from JS side by using chcp.configure() method.
3. When options are set - perform update check.

Something like this:

var app = {

  // Application Constructor
  initialize: function() {
    this.bindEvents();
  },

  // Bind any events that are required.
  // Usually you should subscribe on 'deviceready' event to know, when you can start calling cordova modules
  bindEvents: function() {
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
  },

  // deviceready Event Handler
  onDeviceReady: function() {
    // change plugin options
    app.configurePlugin();
  },

  getConfigUrlByCountry: function() {
    // somehow detect users country and return proper content-url
  },

  configurePlugin: function() {
    var url = app.getConfigUrlByCountry();
    var options = {
      'config-file': url
    };

    chcp.configure(options, configureCallback);
  },

  configureCallback: function(error) {
    if (error) {
      console.log('Error during the configuration process');
      console.log(error.description);
    } else {
      console.log('Plugin configured successfully');
      app.checkForUpdate();
    }
  },

  checkForUpdate: function() {
    chcp.fetchUpdate(this.fetchUpdateCallback);
  },

  fetchUpdateCallback: function(error, data) {
    if (error) {
      console.log('Failed to load the update with error code: ' + error.code);
      console.log(error.description);
      return;
    }
    console.log('Update is loaded, running the installation');

    chcp.installUpdate(this.installationCallback);
  },

  installationCallback: function(error) {
    if (error) {
      console.log('Failed to install the update with error code: ' + error.code);
      console.log(error.description);
    } else {
      console.log('Update installed!');
    }
  }
};

app.initialize();

Thanks for the fast answer and the code example.
