The best command-line client I've used is curl. http://curl.haxx.se curl allows you to script-ify many sequences of actions, and it understands https, x.509 user certificates, and retains cookies. I haven't written a mon test to do so, but it would be easy to write a mon test that wrapped invocations of a curl monitoring script. The popular commercial tools in this space (e.g. silk) may or may not support some level of communication with mon, but I wouldn't count on it. They're certainly not light weight either. andrew
