HTTP Ping – roundtrip times using redirect

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I've been moving some of the stuff I wrote on poditronic.com over to spider.my recently. I can tell the Spinneret API is starting to settle down, because there's less pain every time I update my existing applications to match the new API. It also shows up some lingering bugs too! [caption ...

Streamyx down AGAIN! Up and down like a bride’s nightie!
