First thing, that look's odd: why is 'HTTP/1.0' part of an URL? You schould remove this, as it will be added by flood when creating request. > A.

I'm not sure if i understand you correctly, but payload is really a static element. You have to prepare it first, and then when creating request, flood will calculate Content-Length header. So you need a separate URL for every different file. > B. Is there a way to parameterise different parts of a url from a file > and run the tests. Unfortunatelly, no. I was recently bitten by the same problem. I was forced to use "another ASF testing package", which somehow handled the task, reading data from file in sequential order. During that test I figured out, that this method is also not enough, and I'm working on a 'data sources' concept for flood. > I appologise for spamming the whole list. but I need some help here. This is not a spam, but a bunch of legitimate questions. Please don't hesitate to ask them here, as this is the right place to do so. Be sure to check flood documentation. It's mostly up-to-date. Check docs subdirectory or (if you don't want to build it yourself) following URL: http://cvs.apache.org/~jacekp/manual/ regards, Jacek Prucia
