Re: Mass testing a URL...

[Robert Rogerson <rogersonra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bryce, but if I understand you correctly it's not exactly the test
I'm looking for.  It's not a volume test for performance or stress I'm
looking for.
What I am looking to do is populate an input file which will be read by a
driver program and it will call the sp and the URL for each row.  At the end
I can compare the results.

Where I'm stuck is how do I call the URL with new parameters (store,
request) each time.
