I got three responses to my inquiry about finding a tool to simulate a http server. These all seem very sophisticated but also require a bit of work before being possible to use, so I can't really conclude on them at the moment. In addition, these suggestions will undoubtedly be useable for the future. Robert Binz recommended looking into the Grider Tool http://grinder.sourceforge.net/ David Foster Recommended FreeNx to speed up running X apps at http://freenx.berlios.de/ Antony Florendo Recommended SQUID at http://www.squid-cache.org/ Additionally, two of my colleagues looked into modifying the Apache web server for this test purpose. Thanks, Ragnar -----Original Message----- Hello Sun Managers, We recently had a need to urgently troubleshoot the response from our Web server towards a customer web client. Since we are neither in control of the server source code, nor of the client source-code, the only way to troubleshoot was to snoop, compare with standards and request changes to the two packages, a long and tedious process. During this proces we discovered a gui tool called TCPMON by Axis which woul permit us to simulate the server by modifying the real server response paste it in TCPMON and send the modified response to the client. This should have permitted us to iterate much more quickly to find a response the client would accept. Unfortunately our servers are remote and we can't run gui's very efficiently over the remote connexion (not at all even). So can some of you recommend a text-based (or gui + text compliant) tool similar to this. The ideal tool would be Java based like TCPMON, but we appreciate info on other tools as well. I will summarize.
