Greetings,
Perhaps this question should be posted to a web-development group and
if so feel free to blast me. However I am a c/c++ developer that needs
to pull some data across the net and really lack finesse (totally) in
that area.
I am working with mobile PCs with cellular broadband access and need to
drive thru areas and test throughput. Manually I can do this using
sites such as zdnet. What I wish to do is have my program access a
fixed size file (or page?) from a server. Using time stamps b4 and
after I could approximate throughput. I'll have this in a loop that
runs about once a minute and also records time and GPS position. (And
hopefully there is a way to get a Merlin U720 to cough up signal
strength.)
Current development suite is Visual Studio 6, but we plan to develop
for a Linux environment too.
Thanx,
john
