Download - Proxy Sniffer Free Edition V4.4
The Proxy Sniffer Free Edition is provided at no cost and can be used for an unlimited time to run small, but full featured performance tests with up to 20 VU against your web application(s). If you need to perform stronger web load tests or web stress tests by simulating many hundreds or thousands of web users, the Free Edition allows you to rent immediately our pre-installed and cloud-based load generators in the Amazon data centers for a competitive price.
Alternatively, if you need to perform strong load tests from local load generators "inside your company" we recommend that you purchase a license of the Professional Edition. In such a case please ask to evaluate the Professional Edition two weeks for free.
The Free Edition contains almost all features of the Professional Edition; for example:
- Support for the recording of web surfing sessions using Any Web Browser, including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
Support for easy handling of dynamically-exchanged CGI and HTML form parameters such as .NET VIEWSTATE or order numbers.- Support for XML, SOAP, AJAX, JSON and WebDAV.
- Support for Input Files which can used for any purpose; for example, for assigning login accounts to HTML forms or to modify the query data of XML requests.
- Support for all major HTTP Protocol Extensions: client-side caching of network connections (keep alive), automatic handling of compressed response data (gzip, deflate), automatic processing of session cookies, and the upload and download of files.
- Support for testing HTTP(S) Web Services which exchange data using XML or SOAP.
- All Statistics and Diagrams are fully available.
- An unlimited number of web pages and web service calls can be recorded and tested.
