This list is like that. Sometimes a posting doesn't generate any response,
sometimes it does. Usually people don't go much for "public humiliation".
Over all I like the idea, I played with a html interface myself. Your
interface is much nicer that mine. I haven't look at the code, sorry
not enough time.
I have some concerns -
1) Transfer sizes - I would use something like this at my remote sites
with small WAN connections. I would like to see a capture summary with
the number of packets collected. Then I would like to 'download' a subset
to limit the transfer size.
2) Display filters - An absolute must. If this server is locate on the
other end of a small WAN link, I must be able to limit the packets to
the subset I'm interested in.
3) DNS resolution - need to be able to disable it in the capture interface.
4a) Javascript error - I get this error in IE5.0 -
