Great :-)

Each time. Y can look in the code, are not you?

Please, download the recent version:

Y can look at examples fetch-probability-once.conf and fetch-probability.conf
to use the sa-called URL fetching probability.

Y can read the FAQs at:
http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net/doc/faq.html
namely:
FETCH_PROBABILITY - allows to fetch a url not as a must, but with a
certain run-time probability. The allowed values are in the range from
1 to 100 percents.

FETCH_PROBABILITY_ONCE when set to 1 configures each client to make
the decision regarding whether to fetch a URL marked by a
FETCH_PROBABILITY or not, to be done only once, namely, at the first
cycle.

Define a list of URL, which will be fetched either with a fixed or
with a per-cycle calculated
probability

just haven't had time to start working on the code yet. But I think
you have done a fantastic job with it so far.

Thanks for your appreciation.
Please, note, that curl-loader developement is driven by open-source
community needs, not by money.

I am not accepting donations. curl-loader project does accept
donations, where we have been informed by www.opensourcetesting.org ,
that they are also willing to donate to us as well.

It can be done here and for the purpose of vscript development, and
not nothing else:
http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=179599

Take care.

Robert,

That gives me a good place to start but I am thinking of having a file of =
thousands of urls. So I think I will just use some of the functionality =
from the RECORDS_FROM_FILE.=20

thanks
Jeremy

Good lack and mem, that you can always post patches for integration to
the mainstream!

Robert,

I am just getting back from vacation so I have put in on the hold for a =
little bit. But I do have lots of questions to ask different features and =
the organization of the code that I will get back to you.=20

Thanks
Jeremy
