Hi all,
I just found this group through Ben and wanted to jump right in.
Please excuse if my post is slightly offtopic (I wasnt sure where to
post an introduction best).
At uxebu we have been devleoping a debugging/profiling tool called
xRay which at this point basically acts as the interface to a
debugging data provider.
We are running a simple python server which gives us stats on memory
and cpu consumption of a browser thread and are sending that
information via a socket connection to the xRay application.
You can find xRay at
http://code.google.com/p/xray-project/ - it is
still very beta, but it should be fairly simple to get it running.
Everything is done using JSON, just because it is super simple to deal
with (To not be completely off topic).
At this point xRay is running within Adobe AIR because we wanted
socket connections to keep up with the performance.
xRay also supports a very simple log mechanism which sends logging
data to the xRay application using gears if available (for performance
reasons) - in the style of console.log().
In regards to HTTP, I just have played around with xRay and mobile
devices, sending simple console.logs from the the iPhone to xRay via a
simple HTTP request (gears doesn't work).
It works great, but there is a serious performance hit within the
browser, it would be interesting to look at that.
This is all for now, I will continue reading through the already
posted topics :)
Regards,
Nikolai Onken
