This is pretty close to how I am updating Antenna myself. The only difference is that I'm guessing bombadillo doesn't run non-interactively, but with diohsc I can execute this from the command line or shell script and it will output the result of the request and then quit. For something like Antenna, it's almost ideal, although a simpler program might work slightly better.

The slight catch is that diohsc will refuse to connect to a capsule non-interactively if its cert changes, because accepting the new cert would require user input. The loophole for this is to run diohsc in ghost mode (read-only) with a specified alternate config directory lacking any certs. That way every request will be a "first time" connection and blindly accept any cert.
