You probably don't want to use this, but it starts X amount of requests to the server, doing Y at a time. It's sort of like ab, but much more limited and error prone.

After a git clone;

$ go build
$ ./http-flooder 50 100000 http://yoursite.tld

This starts 100000 requests to http://yoursite.tld, doing 50 requests at a time.

Here's what it looks like for ma.ttias.be (please don't run this against my server.).

This was an experiment. Only launch this against websites or applications you have permissions to. This will stresstest any HTTP(s) server and will likely overwhelm it.

Do not abuse.
