security patch download url's

Hi,

Is it possible to obtain the full download URL for Mircosoft security
patches. For ms05-043, for example the url would be something like:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...23-x86-DEU.exe

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Most if not all updates can be downloaded directly.
Search microsoft for the appropriate patch number.
In the case of "896423", this is the page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms05-043.mspx

Thanks for the response. I should have been more specific in my question. I
am aware that you can search for and download patches as you mentioned. We
are using a patch management system that uses metadata to point to a
particular microsoft directory to download a necessary patch (see first
post). The problem is that not all languages are supported and I would have
to add the download link into the system manually in order for the patch to
be added to the system.

Any ideas I might be able to add a link to the microsoft download repository?

Thanks Again.
