"What is IBM Page Detailer?
IBM Page Detailer is a graphical tool that enables Web site developers and
editors to rapidly and accurately assess performance from the client's
perspective. IBM Page Detailer provides details about the manner in which Web
pages are delivered to Web browsers. These details include the timing, size, and
identity of each item in a page. This information can help Web developers,
designers, site operators, and IT specialists to isolate problems and improve
performance and user satisfaction.
How does it work?
IBM Page Detailer places a probe in the Windows Socket Stack to capture data
about timing, size, and data flow, and then it presents the collected data in
both graphical and tabular views, clearly showing how the page was delivered to
the browser."

This product is only compatible with NS4 and IE, it would be nice if this
product could be compatible with Mozilla too.

Doron, this ibm bug is right up your alley.

Arun, this relates to the topic we discussed earlier. Perhaps you could bring it
to the attention of the appropriate people.

From one of the authors: Page Detailer Pro works with Mozilla and other gecko
based browsers on the Windows 2000 and XP platform. See the section titled
"Using Page Detailer with Other Applications" under "System Requirements,
Installation and Uninstallation Procedures" in the pdp_gui.chm help file.

Could this last line in the ini file be set b default to ? :
Executable=(NETSCAPE.EXE),(NETSCP6.EXE),(NETSCP.EXE),(mozilla.exe),(MozillaFirebird.exe)

This minor change would make the application compatible with mozilla, netscape 7
and firebird.

I verified the instructions in the help.

Edit the file wd_WS2s.ini in the WINNT directory

Add (MOZILLA.EXE) or (FIREFOX.EXE) for instance to the [MONITOR] section
