Dear members of the community!
Can you please share with me if you are using any traffic or network monitoring software, such as WireShark, HTTPAnalyzer or the like to check what's being sent and received by your betting bots?
If you do use them, what particular info do you look for? Is it for security purposes, i.e. making sure that the bot does not send your credentials to any server different than BetFair. Or are you interested in the volume of traffic uploaded and downloaded? Or is it for checking the quality or speed of the connection etc.?
Finally, do you use free or commercial products, and if the latter, how much (roughly) do they charge you?
The reason I'm asking is that we'd like to improve our customers' betting experience with additional functionality by offering certain traffic analyzing functions.
I for one use sniffers a lot to track errors in applications I develop, and also to analyze HTTP headers of some tools I use. I purchased mine for about $99, I'm generally happy with it, but it can be slow when the number of requests exceeds a thousand.
Thanks in advance to everyone who will participate.
