http-replay
===========

A Node.js tool for executing HTTP activity on a timed basis.
Useful for e.g. replaying log files to simulate real traffic.

Usage:

$ node http-replay.js my-config.json

The my-config.json file specifies the requests that should be executed:

{
"base_url": "http://simonwillison.net/",
"requests": [{
"offset": 0,
"path": "/about/",
"method": "GET"
}, {
"offset": 3,
"path": "/",
"method": "GET"
}, {
"offset": 7,
"path": "http://www.postbin.org/y525h3",
"method": "POST",
"data": {"foo": "bar"}
}]
}

The "offset" key allows you to time your requests - in the above example, a
GET request well be made to /about/ as soon as the tool is run, a request to
/ will take place 3 seconds after launch and a POST to postbin will happen
4 seconds after that (7 seconds total since the tool was started).

You can monitor the status of the tool at http://127.0.0.1:8123/
