d6y / sloppy Goto Github PK

Some of our customers in other countries have initial delays of around
300 ms when requesting a new object from our HTTP server.  Once the
connection binds however, the transfer speed is fairly high (128kb+).

An extra textbox in Sloppy to simulate this delay would be very
useful!  And probably not too hard to implement :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start Application
2. Enter address, set desired speed
3. press go

I expect default browser to open and display "http://127.0.0.1:7569" along with the url I've typed in.

Wha I get is default browser opening to the url I've typed at my normal connection speed.

Using Sloppy 1.1.118 on a Windows 7 Home Premium box with Java 6. (Similar results have been obtained on an XP system running Java 6).

I tried the workaround mentioned in another post (start Sloppy, enter address, open browser and type http://127.0.0.1:7569 then url, but that's not working either. I love this application! Really hope there's a fix.

In the Configuration class, it expects a property of:
sloppy.desintationURL

This should be
sloppy.destinationURL

Any change to the code should accept the mis-spelling, but correct the property name on save.

Make use of new logos.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Using Opera 10.6 under XP
2. Launch sloppy, and hit GO to view a site. This works as expected.
3. Enter a different URL in sloppy, and hit GO: you end up seeing the original site.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
On step 3, I'd expect to see the different URL.

The work around is to restart the web browser.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. On a Mac, visit a URL in a web browser (I used Safari)
2. Select and Apple+C (copy) the address from the web browser
3. Put your cursor in the "Enter the address of the site to view" box in
   Sloppy, and hit Apple+V to paste.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect the address I copied from my web browers to be pasted into the
Sloppy address bar.
Nothing actually happens.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Visit a protected site
2. Note that an authentication dialog appears
3. Observe that you cannot type into any field or dismiss the window.

At this point you need to kill Sloppy.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

We would expect either no authentication to be required or for the dialog to be functional.

Sloppy needs some search engine optimization, possibly a rename and possible some other form of
promotion to make it more visible.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Using Java 6, launch Sloppy by visiting dallway.com/sloppy and clicking the sloppy icon in the box 2/3rds of the way down the page.
2. A dialog will appear: "The application's digital signature has an error. Do you want to run the application?" You have to click "Run" to continue.
3. You are then prompted: "Java has discovered application components that could indicate a security concern". You have to click "No" to continue.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The two dialogs should not appear.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Visit a site that redirects. E.g.,
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6FbU4baWk&feature=dir sends me (in the UK)
   to http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6FbU4baWk&feature=dir
2. Observe that Sloppy allows this redirect to the browser, meaning the
   resulting content is not passing through Sloppy (the browser URL will not
   be 127.0.0.1)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In this case, Sloppy should try to fetch the content of the redirected URL
and pass that on to the browser. There would need to be some safety
mechanism to prevent infinate loops.

This is followup to an email discussion:

A suggestion: can Sloppy give statistics on:

• number of bytes transferred
• elapsed milliseconds elapsed (or #.### seconds)
• number of requests

When I was 'tuning' some pages, those seemed to be meaningful stats
and a 'figure of merit' to gauge my progress in trimming the page
size down. Note there may well be better stats than those, but
those are the ones that come to the mind of this "webmaster
ordinaire".

Internationalize the text in the application so that translation offers can be taken up.

NOT A DEFECT: an enhancement (or perhaps documentation improvement)

Followup to email:

Most of my development is in C/C++. Is there a way to use Sloppy as
a standalone app? My impression is that the way to use Sloppy is to
come to the dallaway website. (Doesn't seem like your website is ad-
supported, so it isn't like you are 'selling eyeballs'.)

It's downloaded to your machine, but when it launches it checks for
updates. So it kind of is standalone in some sense. For example, it
should launch if you're not connected to the internet (once you've
run it once, of course).

I'm unclear how to to this ... perhaps stronger coffee would help .

Here is a scenario that my clarify my question:
Could I use "sloopy" if I was on a computer that was disconnected from the
internet, and I was doing web content development with "localhost"?

This is typically how I do this kind of work. I have IIS setup and then
work on the webpage (new or revisions). I go "back and forth" with
localhost until it seems ok, and then upload to the webhost itself.

It would be useful to have "sloopy" statistics to show the result of
changes, especially if I am trying to "trim" the size of webpages to
improved the responsiveness to the visitor.

If this is already possible, perhaps document how.

And thanks again for the time and effort you have put into making "sloopy"
available. For several of the websites where I have been a volunteer
webmaster, a large part of my activities involved trying to trim bloated
pages.
