measuring network latency
Added by mat Sch over 11 years ago
Is there any built in way to measure or detect network latency using Wt? My application is deployed in a mobile environment where there's often a marginal connection. The data being presented is very realtime so when things start to get backed up the user experience begins to degrade. It would be nice if I could display a warning icon when information was delayed and a communication error when a timeout was reached. I was thinking of implanting a ping/ack message to provide this feedback. Does something like this already exist for Wt? If not I think it would make a great feature.
Thanks,

Just an idea: make a JSignal and then start a timer server-side, trigger the JSignal with doJavaScript() and stop the server-side timer in the event handler?
There's nothing built-in.
