Experiment with node. Something like a http controlled ab, but mostly an experiment.
The long term goal is to get a distributed http load tester. Right now, stuff that works are the clients, which can get and measure on URLs. No central control over hosts exist right now.
To start the client, do
node health-worker.js
See config.js for configuration options.
$ curl -T config.js http://localhost:4080/tests/12345
OK
$ curl -d "action=start" http://localhost:4080/tests/12345
