Web Polygraph (www.web-polygraph.org) supports HTTPS proxies and can
create thousands of concurrent connections. Below is a PGL configuration
snippet from a recent HTTPS proxy test in our lab.

HTH,

Alex.


SslWrap sslWrap = {
    ssl_config_file = "openssl.conf";
    root_certificate = "CA-priv+pub.pem";
    session_resumption = 70%;
    session_cache = 100;
};

Server S = {
    // no ssl_wraps here unless you want to test TLS inside TLS
    ...
};

Proxy P = {
    addresses = [ ... HTTPS proxy address ... ];
    ssl_wraps = [ sslWrap ]; // this is an HTTPS proxy
};

Robot R = {
    ssl_wraps = [ sslWrap ]; // an HTTPS-capable client

    origins = S.addresses;
    http_proxies = P.addresses;

    ...
};

use(S,P,R);
