3.3.2 - Technical Information

Technical Overview

SpeedCheck Pro Java Applet reads the labels file by HTTP everytime it starts, the URL is defined in the Java Applet parameter called "labels_url". In our package, we use "SpeedCheck_labels.php/aspx" to generate dynamic labels depending on user's language selection.

If you look at the PHP or ASPX source code of SpeedCheck_labels.*, you will see the script actually takes a Query String parameter called "language":

http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.php?language=english  (PHP)

http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.aspx?language=english  (ASPX)

In our sample, you can set the query string  to be: "french", "german" or "custom". You can modify the source code to support your own language. Of course, basic PHP or ASPX skills are required.

Dynamic labels (SpeedCheck_labels.php/aspx) 

In Java Applet parameter (in SpeedCheck.php or SpeedCheck.aspx), you can see a parameter called "labels_url" this defines the URL of the custom labels file.

<param name="labels_url" value="http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.php/aspx?language=xxxxxx">

xxxxxx = english, french, german or custom

Static labels (SpeedCheck_labels.txt)

If you don't want dynamic content generated, you can save output (see below) as PLAIN-TEXT file such as SpeedCheck_labels.txt

In Java Applet, define this:

<param name="labels_url" value="http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.txt">

Output from script:

For example, if we access this from the web browser:

http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.php?language=english   (PHP)

http://servername/SpeedCheck_labels.aspx?language=english   (ASPX)
