Interwebby examples take 20-30 seconds. Fixable?
5 points by kennytilton 6153 days ago | 4 comments
I thought for my Next Stupid Cells Trick I would lose my Interwebby noob status and try applying Cells to the Arc web stuff, but on windows xp/firefox I find it takes 20-30 seconds for anything to happen and then sometimes it does, I have to hit the reload button to get it to work. This would make the development/learning process somewhat agonizing/untenable.

Am I doing something wrong? Plz do not tell me to use IE, I deleted it during a firefight with a virus.

With arc0 there was some issue with the server not responding to the first request properly, because of some Date Bug. I don't know if that continued in arc1. What happens on request 3?

It varies. Req3 can be a second, then Req4 another twenty, or Req4 and Req5 can be a second and then a killer.

And now I have a meta-concern: Arc's poster boy is the web thingy and in going on a day yours (thx!) is the only response on it being effectively unusable. Whassup with that? I was looking forward to doing a kickass integration of Cells and Arc's webbery. :(

I gave up (temporarily) on running Arc's web server under Windows, due to various problems (http://arclanguage.org/item?id=1531). My impression is that Windows support is "immature", based on the (system "some Unix command") scattered through the code.

I have had the issue where I had to hit reload for the page to show up, but I've never had the 20-30 second wait period. I've only used the web-server thing in arc0 though, and I was using it under linux.
