Just to clarify the point questioned about curl-loader.
It is web application performance testing tool, and not a flooding tool.
The tool is using a really good protocol stacks for HTTP and FTP
of libcurl and for TLS/SSL of openssl.
You are very much welcomed to use curl-loader as a client side
for HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS and report any issues to our mailing list
(sorry no forums).
Your great job of developing java SDK is widely appreciated by us.
Sincerely,
Robert Iakobashvili
