Vee World,
I have an off topic, but quite interesting question for you that deals
with encryption.
Your feedback would be appreciated on the following pursuit of
knowledge. I am doing detective work among friends, collegues and the
internet to acquire knowledge about software tools that can emulate
the cgi-navigation that a web-browsers performs. I would like to use
some script to automate a performance-evaluation of a web-based
application. To simulate 100 users utilization the web-based app. I
would rather use a scripting tool, or executable that I can spawn
automatically than try the ridiculous: get 100 users together to
navigate for a test case. I know these tools exist, but I have some
restrictions...read on.
The tools are common for regular cgi-get and put stuff, but my catch
is that I need SSL3-encryption enabled tools. This has narrowed the
pool of tools for me. 'Netcat' was one nice tool for non-encrypted
stuff.
Any contacts or knowledge that you may have would be valued.
I have identified 'SSLeay' as one SSL-complient tool, but I want more
options. The tool can be PC or UNIX. I would actually prefer PC
since I have been iritated to have to compile the UNIX source code for
my HP-UX environment, and often have failures in doing that.
Thanks for your time and for reading this! Please forward it to folks
as much as is desired to further my pursuit.
Kindly,
Andrew Hamilton
