[APE Project] Test if server is up and running on the client-side with APE_JSF

[eerne]

What is the best approach to test if an APE server is up and running,
by the client side?

And second question on that subject, what's the best way to stop APE
from the request loop?

After from some help on IRC I currently have this:

var client = new APE.Client();
client.load({
'channel': 'test',
'identifier': 'testdemo',
'connectOptions': {'name': 'user' + $random(0, 1234567890)},
'pollTime': 2000 // for testing purpose
});
client.addEvent('load', function(){
(function(){
//client.core.quit();
client.core.rawQuit();
console.log('quit');
}).delay(1500);
});

When using JSONP, client.core.quit(); only falls back to 25000ms, but
doesn't stop the request loop. client.core.rawQuit(); does
successfully stop the loop, is that supposed behaviour? Is there a
better way?

Thanks in advanced

You can load the Self Test ape-jsf/Tools/Check/index.html
It will do the test and report back to you that server is running or
where is the problem. You need to set parameters in config for that.
This does not appear to be correct behavior. However, in api on client
side there is no such function.

You can register a command at server side by
registerCmd
http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/commands/registerCmd.html
and stop the request.

Hi Manas

Thanks for you reply the check is very helpful. To answer my own
question this is what I came up to kill the request loop:

client.addEvent('load', function(){
(function(){

if (client.core.pubid == '' || client.core.pubid === null){
client.core.rawQuit();
$('apeLog').set('text', 'APE Server: offline');
}
}).delay(2500); // set timeout
});

client.addEvent('ready', function(){
$('apeLog').set('text', 'APE Server: online');
});
