SearchWP Windows Update Compatibility
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: SearchWP Windows Server Compatibility
* Plugin URI: https://searchwp.com/docs/kb/an-error-occurred-while-updating-searchwp-could-not-create-directory/
* Description: Resolves an issue on Windows servers that prevents SearchWP from automatically updating.

* Easy Digital Downloads provides packages URLs that look something like this:
*
* http://mysite.com/edd-sl/package_download/MTQ4NjA1NTA0NjphMDA5MTkzZjQ0NGRiNmVmMzczY2JhNTFiZWIxMWZiYzo0NzM3MzphM2Q5ZDA3NDQwMjZjZDFmOWVhYTBiNzBjMjVlZjI0YjpodHRwQC8vbXVzaWNmZXN0aXZhbC5zY2hvb2wubno
*
* This generates a temporary filename for the update process that look something like this:
*
* MTQ4NjA1NTA0NjphMDA5MTkzZjQ0NGRiNmVmMzczY2JhNTFiZWIxMWZiYzo0NzM3MzphM2Q5ZDA3NDQwMjZjZDFmOWVhYTBiNzBjMjVlZjI0YjpodHRwQC8vbXVzaWNmZXN0aXZhbC5zY2hvb2wubno.tmp
*
* Some Windows servers choke on filenames of this size. As a result, the update wil fail and WordPress
* will give you a "Could not copy file." error.
*
* This solution (which is a little weird) will check if the package URL that is about to be downloaded
* by WordPress is an EDD package URL. If so, it will truncate the temporary filename to 50 characters.
