Thanks Richard, but now the dumb question from the non programmer.  Where do I put this script, or how do I execute it, and where do the results show up?

Are there any tools or utilities to measure how much time data takes to get through the TCP/IP Stack?Mycustomer wants to know the time it takes in millieseconds from when aweb page is submitted to when it leaves the radio driver. And can wetrack when a HTTP request comes into the radio and how much time tillit is delivered to the application.

It is quite difficult to get this detailed information and probably uneccessary and not helpful in the first place. The time taken to get the html request out over the network from the termial, the server creating the reply and then transfering that reply back over the network to the terminal takes the majority of the time. That and the rending on the resulting reply to the screen (leaving aside any JavaScript execution) anyway. The time taken for ther packet to make its way up through the TCP/IP stack on the terminal is minor and incdental to all that.Benchmarking the html request times on any terminal can be done quite simply by using code similar to below
WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(uriString);request.Method = "GET"; HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse();Stream s = (Stream)response.GetResponseStream();StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(s);string dataString = readStream.ReadToEnd();response.Close();s.Close();readStream.Close();The time taken to complete all the above would constitute the minimum time required for a simple web page transfer and will be be very dependant on network and server loads.Richard LH

Hi Chris, I believe part of the problem with WEB Applications is that they repaint the entire screen weather it changes or not.  I have two customers that use a webapplication using Symbol Pocket Browser and it's nowhere aggressive as you see with telnet applciations.  So what I ususally say to the customer is eliminate any graphics pictues and make it as simple as possible.  Not sure if there are any third party application that optimize a web applciation for a handheld but anyone who has information on this should respond to this thread.  For the most part customers that demand a subsecond response usually end up with a custom application built for mobilty.  Any one else have any thoughts on this?
