WEBDEBUG: FAQ

_/Introduction\_ _/Manual\_ _/FAQ\_ _/Enhancements\_ _/License\_ _/Download\_


  1. What does WebDebug look like?
    Check out an example of Yahoo's site. Some of the menus have been de-activated but it gives you a pretty good idea.
  2. Does WebDebug work with proxy servers?
    No. If you already have to specify a proxy server in your browser's settings to surf the web then WebDebug probably won't work. A future version may support this if there is enough demand
  3. What version of Python was it tested with?
    Version 1.2 of WebDebug has been tested with Python V 2.1.2. Prior releases of WD have been tested with Python Version 1.5.1 on Windows NT 4.0, Solaris 2.6 & Win 98, version 1.5.2 on NT 4.0. Thread support is preferable but can be disabled with the -singlethreaded command-line parameters.
  4. Does WebDebug support Keep-Alive?
    Yes. It can also be turned off with the -nokeepalive command line parameter
  5. Why did you use Python to write WebDebug?
    For two reasons. One, to learn Python. Two, because Python is an awesome scripting language: the power of Perl without its uglyness, faster to program in than Java and with tons of very useful libraries. Cool stuff!
