Requesting Bit rate
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2002 8:41 am
Hello everybody!
One of my clients have a problem with visitors dropping off because of a heavy flashmovie on the entry page. The easiest solution to this problem would be to compress the movie to a weight that most connections could handle, unfortunately this is not an option. The client want the movie just the way it is.
Now, my question is this:
Does anybody know how I can request the connection speed of the visitor, in order to redirect the visitors with too low speed?
I know that it´s possible to check browser and platform. Is it possible to determine connection speed in a similar way?
Sincerely,
Crooque
