Hello, Does anyone use or recommend any software (free, open source, commercial) that can do loading testing on the POSTing of JPEGs? I would like to have a directory full of JPEGs and have the program go through them and send them to the server. While the software I'm testing isn't Gallery, I figured that there is a good chance that the people here know something about web-based image galleries. Thanks for any info. |

so you wanna do server CPU load testing / benchmarking for upload requests?
maybe you can do that with apache benchmark (ab, ab2).

Thanks, I'll check AB out.
Perhaps a few more details are in order though. The steps involved are:
1. Go to the main page (to set a session cookie)
2. authenticate using a web form (a POST occurs with username and password)
3. if authentication is valid then the session is now allowed post
4. POST images using the standard 'include file' dialogue / form
5. logout
The trick is that every session ID is going to be different, so if I want to automate it I need a tool that keeps the unique session ID for the above steps, but needs to keep track different session IDs for each "virtual user".
There seems to be a lot of load testing software out there, but I can't seem to get any to work in the way I need it.

in g2 you could do it with wget, which can manage cookies etc.
