Ability to test based on Server ID Number

[jbtt3615]

How can I run this tool and test based on Server ID number? I want to pass it list of 5 or more server IP's for approved servers and have it select the best from the 5.

This feature is not supported yet. There's --test-server host:port option but it accepts a single host only.

You can "hack" it in this way:

1. Create your xml hosts file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
   <servers>
     <server url="http://88.84.191.230/speedtest/upload.php" lat="70.0733" lon="29.7497" name="Vadso" country="Norway" cc="NO" sponsor="Varanger KraftUtvikling AS" id="4600"  url2="http://speedmonster.varangerbynett.no/speedtest/upload.php" host="88.84.191.230:8080" />
  </servers>
</settings>

2. Host it somewhere

3. Change this setting to point to your custom hosts file url https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L12

4. Recompile

Okay Perfect! Thank you.

taganaka,

Not sure if this is out of line, but would like to discuss potentially contracting you to provide some additional tweaks to this app for a production environment. If that is possible, please let me know how best to get ahold of you.

Taganka,

Is there a way we can pull the XML file info from a local file on the device, rather than pull from a webserver?

[taganaka]

@jbtt3615 The program uses libcurl to fetch remote file, libcurl supports file schema uri There's a chance it would work out of the box by using file:///path/to/your/local/file.xml as SpeedTest_SERVER_LIST_URL value

[taganaka]

According to the doc, the uri file schema should look like this: file://localhost/path/to/file.xml

There's another problem though. I explicitly check for 200 HTTP_OK: https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest/blob/master/SpeedTest.cpp#L429-L432

I'm pretty sure fetching a local file would not return HTTP 200 as http_status. Changing it should be pretty straight forward

@jbtt3615 This should do the trick.

Please give it a try:

You are awesome.
