edbar
At the moment documentation is pretty sparse, so until I can write more up here are a few basic notes to outline edbar.
Purpose:
As with all good ideas I had this one in the shower, the problem I'm trying to solve is two fold:
- Editorial teams need a simple way to tell how a site is performing in regard to caching and also to disable the caching mechanisms on sites to see updates instantly. The current ways to do this are using differing urls or appending a query string to the URL. Both these methods are a pain and prone to issues such as accidently embedding origin servers in content which can lead to extra load on the origin or even inaccessible links if the origin link is accessible internally.
- All the above points apply to developers and sysadmins, in fact most of the current features are developer led.
Installation:
To install edbar at the moment you'll have to clone the git repository and either reference or package the xpi yourself. There are details on this at mozilla.org if you're having trouble though drop me a line and I'll see if I can help.
Features:
For the moment see the github wiki for these as I'll log current and future features there. For feature requests please log these on in the issue tracker, even better implement them and send me a pull request!
Issues:
Issues are tracked using the github issue tracker, currently there are 0 although I don't expect that to last long. If you do see something and know how to spot it feel free to fix it and send me a pull request.
