Cleared the cache with no change. Deleted the old executables and now
the .jlnp runs as expected -- before it launched the old saved as
standalone executables instead.Created a new shortcut and all is good.
Thanks for the quick response!

Re: Whither Snow Leopard?

I've just tried it under 10.6.1 and I didn't see an error.

I do note, though, that my Library/Caches structure is very different.
E.g., I have /Users/richard/Library/Caches/ Java/cache/6.0/

You can delete/view your caches via Applications/Utilities/Java
Preferences (Network tab). Perhaps that is worth a try?

Whither Snow Leopard?

Is Sloppy busted on Snow Leopard? I'm getting the following error:

CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Could not load file/URL specified:

Unfortunately Sloppy does mess with the HTTP request it passes on to
the real server. As such, it's built just for HTTP.

Having looked a the code -- and SlowProxyThread.java [1] in particular
-- we only do HTTP, but I don't see why we can't detect that you're
asking for non-HTTP and just do a bottlenecked-pass through of that

An amazingly useful application, I must say. Ever so much more
convenient than having to use iprelay to set up a squashed tunnel. ^.^

The problem is, as I believe you mentioned elsewhere, that if a flash
player initiates a connection after the page is loaded, then it will
not go through sloppy. Normally it is not a big deal, but now that I

There are a couple of things going on here.
First off, it looks like youtube.com are redirecting to a different
server. E.g., when I ask for [link]
I'm really redirected to [link]
Sloppy doesn't assume that the server you're redirecting to the same

Maybe I'm dumb, broken, or both, but this doesn't seem to work for me.
My browser was already running, and this just opened a new tab. I went
to YouTube with a 9.6K connection, speed was clearly regular rate.
Hmm. Success from others?

Re: [sloppy-discuss] Sloppy non-GUI version

2008-12-09T12:40:23Z

Yup, that's still in there. I didn't think it'd be ever used again,
but yes :-)
The latest JAR file is available here:
[link]
On the Mac if you download that file you can start Sloppy like this
from Terminal:
$ cd ~/Downloads (or wherever sloppy.jar lives)
$ java -cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Jav aVM.framework/Versions/1.5/

2008-12-06T11:32:58Z

There is a non-gui version mentioned here: [link]

I'd like to run sloppy via a ant action from within Flex Builder (aka
Eclipse). So this non-gui version would do great (i hope), but I'm not
quite sure how to set it up. I've checked out from SVN hoping to find

This sounds very much like a similar propblem others have had with

That's a great idea. In fact, I just checked and I see it has already
been suggested:

Given that it was suggested back in Aug '07, I think I should start
looking around for some help on this project as I don't seem to be

2008-09-23T19:37:39Z

Simulating slow network connections (i.e. bandwidth) is great - but
what about latency?

Would be great if I could specify a delay (connect time) for each
request to simulate latency in addition to the data transmission
rate. This would be especially useful for web 2.0 apps, where clients
may have a fast connection, but are located half way around the globe.

Re: Problems uploading files?

2008-08-31T11:33:38Z

Hi there - I've finally managed to test out Sloppy + file uploads.
What I did was create a simple file upload web site that accepts an
image file, uploads it, then then shows the image back to me. I've
tried
uploading small and large (> 3MB) jpeg files and I'm sorry to say "it
worked for me" :-/

Sloppy doesn't work as a proper proxy (by which I mean sitting between
all the interactions between your web browser and the internet), which
means that if the web server redirects you to another site, Sloppy is
cut out of the loop. I wonder if this is what's happening for you...

I've done some experimentation, and I find if I enter the address
