Spinneret is a web spider and dynamic load generator for testing, benchmarking, and warming caches.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:steder/spinneret.git
cd spinneret
mkdir -p ~/.virtualenvs
virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/spinneret
python setup.py develop

Generating a sitemap

spinneret spider --base_url http://localhost:8000

Because this can take a while I've included a sample sitemap.yaml that can be used to immediately generate traffic.

Using that sitemap to generate requests against a site

spinneret traffic --base_url http://localhost:8000 --inflight 100
