BrwsUrl Property (.NET)

Type: String

This property is used to specify the URL location where the BrowserHawk Reports Web Service (BRWS) resides. The tracked Page Load Time (PLT) data is sent to this location where it is inserted into your database by BRWS.

The specified value may be either a full or absolute URL. Example values for this property are "http://www.yoursite.com/brws/" or "/brws". A trailing slash is not necessary.

If an absolute URL is specified and a page is accessed via HTTPS, BrowserHawk will automatically override the protocol with https. For instance, if you specify "http://www.yoursite.com/brws" for the BrwsUrl value and the page is accessed via https, BrowserHawk will automatically use "https://www.yoursite.com/brws" instead.

Note: If you have configured the BRWS location using the BrowserHawk Editor on the same machine where your code calls the PltHead or GetPltHead methods, than it is not necessary to set this property (BrowserHawk will use that location by default if no value is specified for BrwsUrl). Likewise this property provides a convenient way to have PLT data reported to one BRWS, while data collected using the LogData method is sent to an alternative BRWS (advanced usage).

Note: If you call the PltHead or GetPltHead method from a page that may be accessed via https, make sure the web server where BRWS resides is configured to accept https requests. Otherwise PLT data from pages accessed using https will not be recorded.
