Script to replay HTTP requests from an Apache access logfile

Features

• Takes the time between requests into account
• Replaying can be sped up by a given factor
• Optionally send all requests to a selected (proxy) server

Note: requests are replayed synchronously (only one request at a time), hence this script (as it is implemented now) does not reproduce a realistic high load scenario.

Installation

Requires Python >= 2.6

Simply download the file and execute it...

Usage

Usage: apache-log-replay.py [options] logfile

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -s SPEEDUP, --speedup=SPEEDUP
                        make time run faster by factor SPEEDUP
