feature request #7725
Updated by Andreas Müller over 5 years ago
Split from #5209: Applications We may need to check also think about having a status line icon/label which permanently (every 2-3 seconds) checks the availability of the server (ping) and shows the status (in red if disconnected) so the server is available. user knows immediately about it. These services could be used for the check: * http://api.cybertaxonomy.org/instances.jsp (but often returns "started" if the CDM server is not available, so not sufficient) * http://api.cybertaxonomy.org/cichorieae/classification.json (or any other classification) => is too large and returns CDM objects, the new service should be as performant as possible. But it might be simpler to just simply ping the server. Maybe HTTP HEAD request is sufficient. We may also want to have 2 services, one for checking availability of the server (without DB check) and one checking if data can be read from the DB.
