Re: a few questions.. huge load testing job

[aaron s. <bei...@gm...>]

Ok, i answered the question of associating amf in the body myself. Just
reaind some HTTP specs duh. http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/#structure

So the part that is the "body" will be some raw AMF. Is there a way to
attach a raw body from a file in curl-loader?. I'll keep reading too.
thanks.
