Make 60 seconds (one minute) the "minimum" UpdateRate for WebParser #95

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
We have already changed WebParser to set the UpdateRate to 600 (one minute)
if the user doesn't put an "UpdateRate=" line on a WebParser measure, but
it has been suggested to me that we might consider making that not only the
default, but the "minimum" for WebParser.  There are no web sites that I
can think of which update more often than once a minute, and this would
further protect us and our relationships with web sites by stopping a user
from misunderstanding how UpdateRate works and putting "UpdateRate=1"
thinking it means "yes" like AntiAlias=1 does or something.

Don't overlook that Webparser works also to a local file or a local server. 
Actually,
I know such skins, and even I have created me. Since it aims at the 
synchronization
with a local file or a local server , such a case requires the short as possible
updating time. (e.g. UpdateRate=1) so it is necessary to leave freedom in which 
the
user can define a more minimum value. 

Therefore, I think that the change of this default value (...if the user 
doesn't put
an "UpdateRate=" line...) is the most appropriate and we don't need any more.

Fair enough.  I don't think it will parse "local files", but certainly can 
connect to
a local server and if someone was parsing a server log file or something to 
watch
traffic the fast refresh could be useful. So leave well enough alone..

Enhancement rejected as the existing functionality was preferable.
