Hi Jeff, What you ask for it difficult, especially because we rely on pluggable HTTP connectors that don't commonly provide this type of information. In Restlet 1.1, we will add new connectors (one based on Grizzly NIO) that will let us have a direct control on the socket actions. At this point we might be able to extract precise byte counts.
For now, I would suggest to look into lower-level TCP monitoring tools available on your platform. Also, I've entered a RFE: http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=286 Best regards, Jerome > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Jeff Walter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyé : mardi 10 avril 2007 18:19 > À : [email protected] > Objet : Re: Tracking exact amount of bytes transferred > > Hey Jerome, > > Thanks for your response.
