Whither Snow Leopard?

lewis.fran...@gmail.com (Lewis Francis) — Wed, 10 Oct 2009 15:29:00 UT

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

CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Could not load file/URL specified:
file://localhost/Users/lfranci s/Library/Caches/Java/cache/ja vaws/http/D[link]]

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

Not working - Mac 10.5, java 1.5.0_16, Firefox 3.0.5

jdu...@gmail.com (Jeremy Dunck) — Tue, 01 Jan 2009 20:33:28 UT

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?

Sloppy non-GUI version

betab...@gmail.com — Sat, 12 Dec 2008 11:32:58 UT

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

Not able to enter Authentication details

lsharvir...@gmail.com (sanjana) — Thu, 11 Nov 2008 13:04:30 UT

latency

dburkh...@gmail.com (dantheman) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:37:39 UT

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.

problem: always points to Google

techstreamcomput...@gmail.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2008 22:24:01 UT

Hi,

Sloppy seemed to work fine when trying a couple of sites within a few
minutes of first run. However, after once testing google.com on 56k,
sloppy now always sends me to google.com no matter what I enter in the
site address field.

I've tried removing sloppy from the java cache (using `javaws -

https is not working

sarkis...@gmail.com — Wed, 07 July 2008 18:59:32 UT

Hi all,

I'm trying to test our site that uses SSL for autentication. When I
hit Go, I get Error box with nothing in it and have to kill.

Should it work with https?

Problems uploading files?

juan...@gmail.com (juanmpd) — Wed, 07 July 2008 08:37:44 UT

I've been looking for a tool like this, and I like it quite much. But
I've found I can't use it for the purpose I wanted.
I have a web application, which allows the user to upload some files.
But the upload fails, unless the file is only some bytes in length. I
get this message 'Processing of multipart/form-data request failed.

Adjusting speeds on the fly

gmasn...@gmail.com — Wed, 07 July 2008 00:14:04 UT

Hi there!

I love to use Sloppy for testing Flash apps so I can simulate slower
user connections. Thanks for a great tool!

I have one question about it though, is it capable of adjusting on the
fly? So if I have clicked "GO" and opened a browser window, will
altering the simulated connection speed alter my existing window or do

Version 1.1.118

dalla...@gmail.com (Richard Dallaway) — Sun, 07 July 2008 17:19:57 UT

This release doesn't address the authentication problems that have
been reported: that's next on my list.

This release is a re-write of the user interface to make it easier to
make changes in the future. For those who are interested, the user
interface was hand-coded Swing, and now it's built using the Matisse

Another Feature Request

neonho...@hotmail.com — Fri, 12 Dec 2007 17:31:02 UT

I've been using sloppy for flash testing (it works great for FLVs).
However i was wondering if you could add more download speeds to
sloppy. I'm targeting broadband users so i would like to be able to
compare the difference between DSL and cable. In fact it would be
great to have a custom entry into the download speed as well!

Click "Go" opens my html editor...

creativesw...@gmail.com (swf) — Thu, 09 Sep 2007 15:55:10 UT

Not sure exactly what clicking Go should do but on my machine - PC -
it is opening a blank page in my html editor rather than doing what
I'd expect which is opening a browser of some type. I assume that this
is something I've set up Windows to do but not sure what I need to
undo/edit in order to get Sloppy working properly.

doesn't work with digest authentication

cbr...@gmail.com (Cameron Braid) — Sat, 09 Sep 2007 13:20:29 UT

I just ran the jnlp link, and entered a URL that requires digest
authentication. The dialg box popped up, but I could not focus on the
text boxes, or click any buttons.
I couldn't even close sloppy - it wouldn't respond to clicks.
I had to xkill it.

Feature Suggestion

osk...@gmail.com — Tue, 08 Aug 2007 15:49:42 UT

I've been using Sloppy for a while now, and have recently come across
a new problem related to network simulation.
Some of our customers in other countries have initial delays of around
300 ms when requesting a new object from our HTTP server. Once the
connection binds however, the transfer speed is fairly high (128kb+).

This is a bug fix release: Sloppy was not sending HTTP Headers
correctly, resulting in HTTP 406 errors from some sites (thanks to
Peter de Keer for the bug report).

change, but if you look in About box you'll see the version number as
