> And I think Eric Siegerman has a good suggestion for you. For my current purpose I just want to simulate a real load on a real server. I am trying to reproduce basically the same state that occurs under actual conditions, so that I can probe the server and the code in question while it's happening. It *would* be nice to use real loads that toppled a server for future regression test, but only *after* you solve how to keep it from toppling under such a load, right?
Incidentally, Mike, it would seem to me that the interaction from the gui down to the underlying Sampler object involves many objects. I want to intercept the HTTP Request controller behavior at a couple of points. First, in the gui I want to take in a file location for the apache log to use, as well as the domain of the server to test, but I no longer need the 'path' info. Second I want the path info to no longer come from the gui, but rather to come from a new line of the log for each request that is made. I am currently trying to trace the code from gui to sampler, but there is a lot there and it's all new to me. I am positive that it would be faster to simply pick your brain for the answers, but I realize that you are, of course, a busy man..... Thanks, Jason
