curl-loader is a traffic generator. You can generate HTTP, HTTPS, FTP etc. traffic with it.
Add to that, you can simulate multiple clients (multiple source IP addresses).
Here’s an explanation of how to install curl-loader on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit box and generate HTTP, HTTPS traffic.
$ uname –r
3.2.0-39-generic
$ tail -1 /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS"
install curl-loader
- download curl-loader from http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net/
- I downloaded
curl-loader-0.56.tar.bz2
. extract
bunzip2 curl-loader-0.56.tar.bz2 tar xvf curl-loader-0.56.tar cd curl-loader-0.56/
build requirements
Build it using general C development environment with bash, gcc (3 or 4 series), make, etc on a linux machine.
Building pre-requirements are:
- openssl binaries;
- openssl development package with include files (on debian package libssl-dev);
I have not installed libssl-dev , so I installed
libssl-dev
before compilingcurl-loader
.sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
compile
$ pwd /home/hattori/My_works/curl-loader-0.56 $ make [...] /bin/sh: 2: patch: not found" AND "make: *** [lib/libcurl.a] Error 127
How do I proceed from this error?
