curl-loader is an open-source software performance testing tool written in C-language, simulating application load and application behavior of tens of thousand and hundred of thousand HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS clients, each with its own source IP-address. In contrast to other tools curl-loader is using real C-written client protocol stacks, namely, HTTP and FTP stacks of libcurl and TLS/SSL of openssl, and simulates user behavior with support for login and authentication flavors.
The goal of curl-loader project is to deliver a powerful and flexible open-source performance testing solution as a real alternative to Spirent Avalanche and IXIA IxLoad.
The tool is developed and supported by Robert Iakobashvili and Michael Moser.
