byteblowerll.byteblower.HTTPMultiClient

class byteblowerll.byteblower.HTTPMultiClient(*args, **kwargs)

HTTPMultiClient can be used in combination with MultiServer to start multiple concurrent HTTP requests.

When starting the flow, the configured number of HTTP requests will be started. Each time a request is finished (succesfully or unsuccesfully) it will be replaced by a new request. This is repeated until one of the configured stop conditions is reached. Possible stop conditions are: total duration, total size or number of connections created. If no stop conditions are configured then the flow continues indefinitely.

Main parameters:

MaximumConcurrentRequests

Number of HTTP requests to run concurrently

Duration

Total duration of the flow

Size

Total number of bytes that may transmitted

SessionDuration

Duration of individual requests

SessionSize

Number of bytes transmitted by individual requests

CumulativeConnectionLimit

Maximum number of connections that may be created during the whole flow

New in version 2.10.0.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
