HTTP header skip
This setting controls how RTV treats the HTTP Header lines that occur at the start
of a response.
v Auto - RTV tries to recognize the HTTP Headers by looking for the first blank
line in the Response (a CR-LF-CR-LF sequence).
v Never - RTV treats all lines in the Response as part of the response body. Use
this option only if your web server does not return any HTTP headers in the
response, which is a rare configuration. This option can be used if you want to
see the HTTP Response Headers at the top in the Replay View.
v Always - RTV always skips down to the first blank line to start reading the
response body.
Timezone
Tealeaf always records timestamps for hits using GMT time.
When these sessions are replayed, the RTV status line includes information about
the time the Request was received from the client. This setting controls the
translation from GMT time that is recorded in the Request block to the time
displayed on the RTV status bar.
RTV Profile
In the received data stream, pages can be displayed that belong to child frames of
a parent page that was received earlier in the session.
For example, Ajax technologies and IIS PostBacks cause changes in the appearance
and content of pages already on the screen. Pages can cause XML data streams to
be emitted and received from the web servers, which are then captured by Tealeaf.
These pages must be integrated into the RTV replay stream.
For some applications, RTV must be provided with hints in the RTV Profile. Each
user has a profile file to which these hints can be added.
Hints can also be synchronized by a central profile server. The RTV power users
and Tealeaf administrators can update the central profile when the web application
changes. The updates are propagated to all RTV users.
v The profile server does not maintain a history of revisions to profiles. Tealeaf
administrators can manage revision history locally.
You can edit the most common profile elements through the RTV application.
Users who are comfortable with XML can edit all profile options in the XML file.
Profile contents
RTV ships with a default profile for providing hints that help RTV replay the
session. The Profile consists of a RequestMapping node and zero or more
HostProfile nodes.
The RequestMapping node rarely changes. It contains the standard mappings
followed by the major web server technologies: Apache and IIS. Each RequestEntry
node within the RequestMapping section gives RTV a list of entries for which to
search in a Request and from which to retrieve values that are needed to replay the
session. It is unlikely that you will require to modify the RequestMapping node.
