We are in the process of developing a web application that is highly responsive to latency and utilizes websockets (or a Flash fallback) for message transmission to the server. While there is a fantastic tool known as Yahoo Boomerang for measuring bandwidth and latency for web applications, the latency data provided by Boomerang includes the time required to establish an HTTP connection, which is not necessary in our case. Our focus lies on measuring the ping time since the websocket connection is already established. Is there a solution to this issue?
In addition, it seems that Boomerang only triggers once when the page loads and does not repeat the tests later even when prompted to do so. Is there a way to configure it to run connection tests at regular intervals, such as every 60 seconds?
