Hi,

Is there a Unix text-based browser I can use on my hosting providers
box?
That is from my production site (Dreamhost) I could emulate a browser
call
to my application in text form?

The main reason is I want to test initial response time from my
application,
but discount the network lag. I’m noticing that the first http hit to
my
application (if there has been a break in traffic to the RoR app) takes
several seconds to come back (~10-20 seconds) but then subsequently
seems
ok.

Tks

w3m works good as well. (and it’s japan-made if it makes u feel more
homey while working on the japan-made ruby) :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this is built into w3m or if it’s an extension packaged
up
by a Debian developer, but on my Debian boxes I have the w3m-img package
installed. As long as I am using an xterm (doesn’t work on Apple’s
Terminal.app, don’t know about other terminal emulators), I can run w3m
and
it displays images within the xterm. I don’t know how it’s done, but
it’s
quite nice.
