Hello

If you use the URLs in a tool a good solution is to distribute
default versions of the file with the tool, then let the tool update the
default version by downloading new files from the CiA Website.

If downloading the file fails because there is no internet connection,
or the CiA website is down, or if the file was moved unintentionally
the software just uses the stored file, no need to even give an error
message to the user.

It's quite likely anyway that, at some point, the tool will be run on a
laptop with no Internet.
