Our group has written an SSL based client which we heavily use
in stress testing HTTPS as well as HTTP servers. This client is
implemented in C on RHLinux 6.1. You may have to modify the part
which uses pthreads and make it use WinThreads. I don't think this
would take lot of time/effort.
This client can simulate any number of test clients which you
want. You need to supply it a file containing all the URLs to be
fetched from the web server. Following options can be provided to
this tool from command line:
-a retries No. of times connects are retried before giving up
-b buffer_size I/O buffer size in KB
-c cipher_suite cipher suite to use
-d MIN:MAX Random delay in milliseconds between successive
requests with min and max in milliseconds
-e loglevel Logging level : Default -None, 1 - data, 2 - SSL
-f script_file file containing URLs to be fetched
-h Prints this help
-i iterations number of iterations per client
-j establish sessions without any data transfer
-l log_file file in which logs are to be dumped
-n numClients Number of concurrent clients to be activated
-p port Port number of the server
-r reuse the session ID for one set of requests
-s IPAddress IP address of the server
-t bandwidth Bandwidth throttling in KBPS
-v turn the client verification ON
-u Plain HTTP connection, SSL is not used
Let me know if you are interested in using this tool, we would
be happy to release this tool under GPL.
