 Description     : application load simulator


curl-loader (also known as "omes-nik" and "davilka") is an open-source 
tool written in C-language, simulating application load and application 
behavior of thousands and tens 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 <http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/features.html> and TLS/SSL of openssl <http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html>, and simulates user behavior with support for login and authentication flavors.
