    <maml:description>
      <maml:para>The `Get-DownloadInfo` function retrieves from a server information relative to updating a specific application. The canonical information set consists of:</maml:para>
      <maml:para>- `Version`: the latest version of the application</maml:para>
      <maml:para>- `Link`: the URL to the setup resource.</maml:para>
      <maml:para></maml:para>
      <maml:para>This set can be augmented with additional elements depending on the server that hosts the application. Those elements may be the size of the resource or its checksum code.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>The command takes two parameters: either `-Path` or `-PropertyList`, and `-From`.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>The parameter `-From` is the server name to get the information from, and its values are either Github , Omaha , or Sourceforge . The parameter `-PropertyList` is a set of name-value arguments required to build the HTTP request to the server. `-Path` is the path to a file holding the properties list.</maml:para>
