Im on holiday for 2 weeks, so I wont be updating anything till 2 weeks from posting of this message. Please report any errors or problems to the site. I understand HTTP 1.1 doesnt work correctly for all sites at the moment, but I hope to fix that soon. Please stay tuned.....
* started adding support for HTTP1.1 * started outputing comment capture in XML
There has been some ongoing testing on MacOSx by Michael Walker. Most of the problems are due to HTTP 1.1 not being fully supported as yet (default used by FireFox, etc.) There was a problem using http://webstretch as the admin pages on OSx with Safari, as it tried to do a DNS lookup before submitting to the proxy. This has been fixed by allowing the user to switch to using the IP address of the proxy instead of http://webstretch. See the readme.txt file for details (available in the zip file). Remember - this software is still in beta! Please provide feedback if you can.
* Applied some fixes. * Changed to daemon instead of normal threads. * You can now use the IP address instead of http://webstretch to access the admin pages. This is mainly aimed at Mac OSX users with Safari. View readme.txt for more details.
OK, Ive installed FireFox and noticed that webstretch is fairly slow compared to how it acts with IE. This is probably due to how each browser decides to queue requests and assign them to threads before rendering. I will be reworking webstretch to cope with this.
