HTTP Load Injector for Testing

This code is not for use in Production because we explicitly ignore the TLS verification.

Basic Usage

./httpsloadinjector -p <JSON-FILE> -s <HTTPS-URL> [options]

Required and Optional Inputs.

 -d,--duration <arg>   Optional maximum Duration in Hours for testing. Default is 1.
 -h,--headers <arg>    Optional Key-Value file name of HTTP Headers to use on every Request.
 -p,--payload <arg>    Required Path of JSON File to be sent as payload.
 -s,--service <arg>    Required Service endpoint to be targeted.
 -t,--threads <arg>    Optional number of threads to fire. Default is 1.
 -w,--waittime <arg>   Optional wait time in Seconds per thread between payload injection.
                         Default is 5 seconds.

--duration - Default is One Hour. Specify fraction of an hour for shorter tests. All running threads will yield at the end of the test duration.
--headers - Additional HTTP Headers that can be added into each HTTP Request. E.g. Basic Authentication, User Agent.
--payload - Relative path to the JSON file that will be used by each HTTP Request.
--service - HTTPS service endpoint to be targeted for load injection.
--threads - Default is One Thread. Specify a different number of threads for parallel loads.
--waittime - Default is 5 seconds. Specify a different integer value for each Thread to pause before continuing with the next request. A random fraction of 1 second is added to the specified wait time.

Example

The following example will spawn 17 threads, each with a wait time of about 1 second between requests. The test will run for one minute. Each request will send payload.json with additional Request Headers in headers.txt contents to the specified endpoint.

./httpsloadinjector -t 17 -w 1 -d 0.0167 -p ./payload.json -h headers.txt -s https://localhost:8443/hello-world
