creating multiple web connections simultaneously.

[vinoth_python]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.

I need a python test script to open 100 client connections for a web server, say "www.example.com/test/test" without invoking browser. I am trying out this for load testing to create 100 virtual connections to a web server. I have tried with urllib.urlopen(). It fetches only the source of the web page. The connection is not created using the same. Any body help me out in this regard.

Thanks,
Vinoth

You need to open a socket to the webserver.

I don't know anything about threads, so this post is aimed at people that do. Can he just create 100 threads of his program, each thread pulling data from the webserver he is load testing?
