The URL player is a stress testing tool: is used to remotely command Opera to open new windows and load documents into those windows.
CreateWindows
The front end opens a number of windows under control of the URL player by issuing the createwindows command:
This command generates an immediate response to the client (see section on replies below). A success response carries the number of windows actually created (on some platforms it may be less than requested.
command CreateWindows()
returns ()
= 1;
LoadUrl
Loads a URL into a specific window.
A success message will be sent once loading is complete. A failure message will be sent as soon as the failure is known, which means immediately in case of e.g., parse errors, and later in case it could not connect to the server.
Note that even after a successful loading is signalled the page can continue loading, for example if a script adds inline elements. There is no way for the client to tell if this is happening.
command LoadUrl()
returns ()
= 2;
OnConnectionFailed
event OnConnectionFailed returns ()
= 4;
OnUrlLoaded
event OnUrlLoaded returns ()
= 3;
