Thermopyle posted:See the application Soundswitch I mentioned 7 posts previous. This type of application would be wonderful. Unfortunately, in Vista (and later) this can only be done by something like AutoIt. In windows XP a simple registry change would change the default device, but they removed that in Vista, only allowing the user to make the change via that control panel applet. They have nice APIs to query the sound devices and do a lot of things with them, just not change the default one  .In my opinion, while i do understand their reasons , i disagree with MS on this one. Seems like a management decision that has nothing to do with developers' needs or users for that matter. Completely disconnected from reality.

Wouldn't something like http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ work? I believe it does have scheduling. If that won't work for you, there are download managers out there that can help you out.

Sir_Substance posted:That's a classic data quality problem you have there. Talk to the people who make electronic health records about trying to get consistent data out of hand written notes from mds, they know about this stuff! To expand on this, ideally you would have some application (web/desktop/whatever) that presents them with a UI where they can enter the data and where data can be validated. That would be the easiest option. From that app, then one could easily build "Export to Excel" functionality to give them their useless sheets if they really want them. Otherwise will always be a cat and mouse game, and no matter how idiot-proof your script may be, the universe will always make "better" idiots.

Chunjee posted:Went way far back in the thread looking for something that never got fulfilled and that I wanted. Why does it need to be a Chrome extension? This looks to be exactly what tools like nagios (mrtg and others) have been created for . Is there a particular reason? For the "accept outside ajax requests to create/update boxes" requirement it pretty much requires it to be a desktop application as you cannot (or shouldn't) listen on a socket from an extension.

Chunjee posted:deadly_pudding was originally wanting to do a chrome extension and taking suggestions. Any approach works for me. Ah, ok. So, i did a bit of fiddling with this, as I wanted to try out a couple of new c++ libraries (crow http and MS PPL). The source-code and the first release are available at https://github.com/sa55231/WebMonitoring. The direct URL for this release is https://github.com/sa55231/WebMonitoring/releases/download/v0.1/WebMonitoring.zip . It is a 64bit windows service, which provides a web server available at port 18080 (therefore http://localhost:18080/ will work, as well as [url]http://[/url]<my local ip>:18080/). I'm not sure how new of a windows requires, but anything newer than Vista should be fine. In the readme on github I provided some basic documentation of how to get it up and going. Things that will come in the future: - Historical graph - Speed up requests when the site does not provide a success status. At the moment it checks at 60 seconds interval, no matter what. On my local machine, using the release build, it uses 40MB of RAM when monitoring 117 sites. It should be relatively ok with quite a few more. For any bugs (of which Im sure there are many) or feature requests, open up and issue on github and i'll do my best to make it happen.

That's strange. I installed it here at work (had to change the user that the service is running under to Localsystem since Network Service was simply not allowed to do anything, thanks IT) and seems to work. Granted, I am using Firefox and a RestClient extension for it, but I tried chrome and Advanced Rest Client extension, and that worked too. What extension are you using? Though I can't imagine the extension itself being the problem, I mean they all should work in the same way.... Try giving the service Local System permissions (look at the code, it's not doing anything fancy). Or, if you want to just run it as a console application as the user you're logged in, you can delete the %PROGRAMDATA%\webmon folder and start it from a console window as "WebMonitoring.exe -run". The %PROGRAMDATA%\webmon folder contains the sqlite database the application is using.

Chunjee posted:Running it with my local user seemed to work. It does follow redirects, as a http://google.com/ URL demonstrates (that one just redirects to local site then to https://google.com/). I tried your url's and they do work for me:

Chunjee posted:Those do not match my urls. Hah, you're right, my bad. Fixed those and the correct ones work as well. http://imgur.com/a/X0Efh Try to run it as LocalSystem to just eliminate that possibility. If that works then it means that there is some permission problem which needs to be addressed, but at least I can look into it with that knowledge. I'm not comfortable with it running as LocalSystem, as it does listen on a port and that's not secure no matter how you look at it, but at least gives me a starting point. Nothing else works for you (google?).

Chunjee posted:Google works for me. As does Example.com I was able to replicate the problem in a windows 7 VM (IE11, provided by microsoft to developers). The exact error is WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_FLAG_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR: The application experienced an internal error loading the SSL libraries. There's something wonky with either the client OS or the certificate (as google seems to be fine).
