Folks
I've developed some additional functionality for flood: random text
substitution in the URL.
I think this is a very useful addition and I'd like to have it become
part of flood.
The way it works is that your URL contains a string like '${subst_var}'.
On each generation of a URL, that entire string is replaced by a line
randomly chosen from the so-called substitution file. The substitution
file is paired with the substition variable (in this case subst_var) vis
a subst_list xml construct in the flood config file. An arbitrary
number of variable - file pairings can be defined in the config file.
You need 3 things to get this to work:
1. You must use a 'requesttemplate' to hold your URL
2. You must supply a 'subst_list' xml construct in your flood
config file.
3. You must supply a 'substitution file' containing the lines that
will be randomly substituted.
I have code and a sample configuration file that implements this.
How can I submit this?
