sumit Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 There are 4 proxy servers through which I can connect to internet. Their speeds varry everyday. I know how to use Regwrite to set proxy settings in IE. Is there a way that I can detect which proxy is faster at that time when i run a script and Regwrite proxy settings to IE. Code will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herewasplato Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 ...Their speeds varry everyday...On what do you base that statement?In other words, how do you know "Their speeds varry..."?How did you measure "thier speeds"?Can you replicate that basis in a script?Can you replicate that measurement in a script?-MSP- [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumit Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 the proxy is configured in the browser. when i use one proxy it takes more time to load google.com... when i use other proxy it takes less time to load google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW1 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 why not do a ping with each one and then arrange them by ping response time? AutoIt3 Online Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumit Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 thanks for the reply. Pinging has been blocked to the proxy... but i have figured it out i can use the time taken to load the page for each proxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewasplato Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 why not do a ping with each one and then arrange them by ping response time?I'm not looking to debate the usefulness of the Ping function, but according to this (and other sites) Ping might not be a good indicator of network performance: http://carolinanet.helpserve.com/index.php...;kbarticleid=70excerpt:ICMP echo packets are often given second-class treatment by routers and target hosts. This means that ICMP Echo Requests and Responses may be backed up behind traffic that is considered more important.-MSP- [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
