Simple Firmware Query

[Landreth, Kevin]

This would be awesome!  I'd like to know of something like this as well
if it is available.

It would be nice if the Dell firmware repository data was available in
XML format or via an XML Web Service like
http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/webServices.aspx
<http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/webServices.aspx> . The idea is to make
it more accessible for other operating systems such as Microsoft
Windows. A query for Model=Optiplex 755&Firmware=BIOS would return the
URL for the newest bios.hdr files for that model. That's simplified,
since it should use standard naming conventions such as Vendor/VEN,
Device/DEV, Subsystem/SUBSYS, and Version/VERSION, or a Model and
Firmware type.

If there is already something like this in place, I'm not aware of it
and would like to know.
