I found this code snippet(reference http://www.goldb.org) and wish to do
more with it than just send out a Http Get request.I would like to
introduce more traffic -say by downloading files,crawling through all
the links,logging in etc etc,and wish to see how the web server
reacts.I'm trying to stress the server to its limits....appreciate if
anyone could provide me code/ideas to inject into this.
the website -http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/
selected as example has many downloads.i tried from urllib import

umm. are you saying that you run ruby-lang.org and want to write a
stress tester in Python just for the fun of it, or are we missing
something here...

"load testing" other people's sites are known as something else, of course.

The IETF is waiting to borrow Guido's time machine for study before releasing
the RFC for NNTTP (Network News Time Travel Protocol). Of course, if you have
you get to borrow Guido's time machine, too, you can already comment on the RFC
before the C's were R'ed.
