Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WebVision is a viewer program for a fairly recent phenomenon on the World
Wide Web - web cameras. Web cameras are recorded images published on the web
and updated at regular intervals. They may show everything from a TV channel
or somebody's living room to the weather in a city in northern Norway.
You can view these images with a regular webbrowser, you can even have it
update the page at regular intervals, but WebVision offers a more specialized
and optimized approach. Web camera sites are configured in a special
window and viewing one opens a dedicated window, which is sized exactly to
fit the camera image. Update delay, save directory and other parameters
are easily configured individually for each camera.
For registered users, an Internet update server is available that allows you
to exchange sites with other WebVision users. At the last count, this
database contained over 250 webcams, with more being added all the time.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· AmigaOS 3.0 or higher.
· A JPG datatype like akJFIF or Prodev-JFIF.
· MUI 3.8 or higher.
· An AmiTCP compatible TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami or TermiteTCP).
Features
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· Highly multithreaded operation, busypointers are practically banned
and all operations can be aborted.
· Many advanced configuration possibilities.
· Extremely flexible autosave function for saving camimages.
· Update the hierachical list of camsites automatically over the Internet.
· Carefully designed MUI GUI.
· Supports CyberGraphX Video Layers for 16 bit images on 8 bit screens.
· Supports many advanced HTTP features such as HTTP proxy (with
authorization), streaming webcams, Basic authorization, downloading only
updated images, etc.
Version history
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WebVision 2.1 (17.2.99)
· Added scaling of images, including submenu with presets in the Site menu.
· Added busypointer while saving/loading sites.
· Added option to disable online check, for example to trigger dial-on-demand.
(John S Burger)
· Simplified MiamiIsOnline() check and some MUI code for smaller size.
· Changed HTTP request code to allow non-HTTP requests when using a proxy.
· Changed HTTP response parser to allow for a bit of non-RFC compliance on
the server part. (Buggy site supplied by Skyclad)
· Opening and closing the aboutwindow had a high probability of leaving an
orphan "WebVision Flame Render Process" in the system. Should be
completely harmless, but a waste of resources of course.
· Added workaround to Listtree.mcc bug that would seem to delete sites and
groups outside the "Automatically updated" group, though it was only a
visual effect. (David Gerber)
· Fixed a couple of cases where "Pragma" and "Proxy-Authorization" headers
would be sent even if they shouldn't.
· Camlist update on startup wouldn't work unless program update check was
enabled too.
