New open-source WebDAV load testing tool: Mecadaver

[nicolasraoul]

Hello all,

I needed to generate a LOT of WebDAV traffic, while debugging a client's Alfresco-based server.

JMeter does not do WebDAV, and Silk Performer was too expensive, so I wrote a test load tool.
I called it Mecadaver, like "mechanical" and "cadaver" (the historical Linux WebDAV tool).

It connects to Alfresco via WebDAV as many different users, to browse the folders and download files randomly.
Open Source, feel free to improve it/add features!

Cheers!

Hi Nicolas,

When we try to execute this tool, webdav authentication fails with following error
ERROR [webdav.auth.NTLMAuthenticationFilter] Client hostname using NTLMv2 logon, not valid with passthru authentication

We are using Alfresco 3.4.z and executing this jar from Windows 7

Thanks
