Thank you for your question. I need some time to check it out and will let you know as soon as I get an answer.

You can set up ​an automatic update for different thin clients using specific WEB-service. Here is its description from New functionality in Version 8.3.1 page:

"You can setup the update of thin client distribution kit and downloading the list of common infobases using an HTTP connection or a web service.

If versions of client and server applications do not match, the thin client is downloaded and installed automatically.

The following parameters of the 1cestart.cfg file are implemented :

InternetService - address of the web service for updating of the thin client distribution kit and the list of common infobases,
WebCommonInfoBases - address of the web service for downloading the list of common infobases,
WebDistributiveLocation - address of the web service for updating the thin client distribution kit.
You can specify a link to the thin client distribution kit in the following configuration files:

In the default.vrd file using the pubdst attribute;
In the conf.cfg file using the PublishDistributiveLocation parameter."

Did anybody realize this function via Web Service? Where clients may be Windows, Ubuntu 32, Ubuntu 64, CentOS 32, CentOS 64.

With publication of web service I do not have any problem. But I do not have idea whitch files will be placed in "*.zip" file?

You have to place the entire thin client distribution package into this zip archive. You can download the package you need from 1c-dn. For example, here is the link to a thin client 8.3.5.1146 for Linux (DEB). Please note that the original archive you get from 1c-dn is in rar format, so you need to re-archive it into zip first.

Hope it helps.
