Does anyone have any recommendations of open source tools for generating very high volume http traffic simulating large numbers of clients form multiple IP addresses? I did a search on sourceforge and most of the projects have not released any new code in 18 months or more - so not sure of status on most of them. I need to test an application that uses HTTP as its transport layer (but not HTML) so open source tools would allow the customizations I need, with out haveing to write everything from scratch.
Sounds like you found one of my projects!

Marc, Thanks for the response. I have not actually downloaded your code and am just gathering info right now, but I do have a couple of quick questions in the event your project code base is a fit for what I need to do: 1. what language - your web site indicates c++, scheme/guile for the scripts but sourceforge indicates delphi/kylix???? 2. how complete/incomplete http handling compete, scripting engine, gui (do not really care too much about), etc. ?? 3. GPL? We would need to modify since the client side of the application is not a browser/html based. It just uses http and servlets as the tier between the client and backend business logic and database - so we sould need to modify the scripting logic anyway to handle serailized java objects and dynamically create the next appropriate request (eg fixing the previous failed request or going on to the next step in the business process). 4. Would you prefer to give CVS committ access or to get new code/patches sent through you???? Or would you prefer I created a fork giving you credit for initial code base? Ultimately, the load generator is for internal use at the company I work for and all the changes from us would be funnelled through one person designated as the maintainer of the code internally.

This looks promising. Free Java-based tool with book to explain how to best use it:
