If you put a full URL (Curse, git, etc.) into the bar it should automatically download the addon.

If you type a search query then it should go to Curse (and more) to find matching addons. Presumably this will mean crawling the Curse site or reverse engineering their API.

I found some links to some files the client may use, but I haven't figured out how the files can be opened (they don't appear to be regular zip files?) Source: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1493609-C-Addon-Updater-Need-URL-of-Curses-Addon-Database-file-XML

ha, this seemed to work after tracing through wireshark and the curse client:

http://clientupdate.curse.com/feed/hourly.xml.bz2?time=1421946955?v2=2866447872&p2=1713594790

returned a .bz2 file w which, when updated, was an XML file... Exploring the other stuff.
