           Summary: Enhancement to ab to support variable requests
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


We need ab to be able to make requests containing variable parameter values.  
This patch adds an option 
(-R) which specifies a user-generated file containing lines which ab will 
append to the base URL for every 
request, in the order they are read from the file.  If the end of file is 
reached before testing is complete, it 
will repeat from the first line in the file again.

Example explains this easier:

User creates a file called requests.txt containing:
&P=government
&P=O.J.+Simpson+trial
&P=george+bush

With the patch applied, ab can be called with "-R requests.txt" to append each 
of the lines to the requests 
it makes.

$ ab -n 5000 -c 1 -R requests.txt http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test

This will cause ab to create requests:

http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test&P=government
http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test&P=O.J.+Simpson+trial
http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test&P=george+bush
http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test&P=government
http://10.0.0.1/search?db=test&P=O.J.+Simpson+trial

and so on.

The patch is generated against httpd svn trunk (r560191).
