  • 0.1.7 Beta Release

    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...

  • Comment: Basic Authentication problem

    Logged In: YES user_id=784427 Firefox defaults to using HTTP1.1 IE defaults to 1.0 1.1 is more complex but more efficient. Need to add more support for HTTP1.1 (reusing sockets, 100 status, etc). Problem looks like its prob due to HTTP1.1 support in both browser and server. Working on solution. Thanks.

  • Firefox

    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.

  • Comment: Basic Authentication problem

    Logged In: YES user_id=784427 I just tried it on tomcats manager screen (http://localhost:8080/manager/html if you have it installed). With the proxy running, I get the pop-up box looping when I give an incorrect username/password, which is what it usually does. If I enter the correct username/password it works ok, and I can continue using the proxy to investigate the newly accessed...

  • Comment: Basic Authentication problem

    Logged In: YES user_id=784427 I tested it on a system which I dont know the username/password. It looped 3 times and then presented a page saying Im not authorized. This was what usually happens. I need to test it to make sure it works when a valid username & password are entered. If you know Java and would like to see what the code is doing yourself, just email me. Cheers.

  • Comment: webstretch proxy is Shutting down during normal surfing

    Logged In: YES user_id=784427 I take it this was with the newest version? I will need to add alter the exception handling so that in future it present the version number so I can check it myself. Do this error occur on a certain web page, or does it occur every time you submit a request? If its a certain web page, could you attach a link. Thanks for the post!

    Logged In: YES user_id=784427 Do you have any examples on the web which I can visit to recreate the problem? Otherwise I may try to set up an example myself and test it. The system presently hasnt been tested with different forms of authentication. I will look into it as soon as I can. Thanks for the post!
