NAME

HTTP::LoadGen::Run - HTTP client for HTTP::LoadGen

SYNOPSIS

BEGIN {$ENV{HTTP__LoadGen__Run__dbg}=1} # turn on debugging
use HTTP::LoadGen::Run;

# fetch an URL
$rc=HTTP::LoadGen::Run::run_url $method, $scheme, $host, $port, $uri, $param;

# fetch a list of URLs
HTTP::LoadGen::Run::run_urllist +{times=>10,
                                  before=>sub {...},
                                  after=>sub {...},
                                  InitURLs=>sub {...}};

DESCRIPTION

HTTP::LoadGen::Run implements the HTTP client for HTTP::LoadGen.

Functions

$rc=HTTP::LoadGen::Run::run_url $method, $scheme, $host, $port, $uri, $param

performs one HTTP request as specified by the parameters. See URLList in HTTP::LoadGen for more information on the parameters.

Note, predelay and postdelay specifications are evaluated by HTTP::LoadGen::loadgen(). So, they don't have any effect here.

HTTP::LoadGen::Run::run_urllist \%config

performs a set of HTTP requests one at a time using run_url. %config is a hash that may contain these keys:

InitURLs

The value is an iterator generator as described in InitURLs in HTTP::LoadGen.

This value must be a code reference. There are no predefined iterators here.

times

see times in HTTP::LoadGen.

before

an optional code reference called as

$config->{before}->($rq);

before each request. The ReqStart hook in HTTP::LoadGen is implemented this way.

after

an optional code reference called as

$config->{before}->($rc, $rq);

after each request. The ReqDone hook in HTTP::LoadGen is implemented this way.

dnscache

see dnscache in HTTP::LoadGen.

EXPORT

All of the following constants are exported by default. See also HTTP::LoadGen.
