Detect Connection speed with Wicket or something similar

[Brown, Berlin [GCG-PFS]]

For our wicket applications, we want to detect the browser connection
speed, do you know of a library or approach for detecting the browser
speed.
 
There is a thing in wicket called AjaxTimerBehavior that I could use but
it is a little flaky and not built for the purpose of detetching browser
speed.
 
Do you have any ideas how to check this?
 
I thought about using jQuery also, but wouldn't know how?

I think you need to do download of a file to get this measure.
E.g. onDomReady you fire an ajax request back to the server to a
predefined mount path which will init the download of relatively big
file.
When the ajax request ends you need to send a second one with the time
needed to do the first ajax request. The rest is pure maths to
calculate the speed.

Do you have a little bit more pseudocode.  And I want this to be
transparent as part of the application, E.g. I want the user to visit
the home page and then we calculate the speed and log it.

MyHomePage extends Page {

  public String onDomReady() {  

     return "wicketAjaxGet('/theFile');"
     // or jquery?
  }

}

theFile MountPoint extends Page {
 
}
