Description Robin Houston 2006-11-09 01:30:16 UTC

I'm running some load tests for a client, which are intended to measure the
capacity of a particular web server to deal with heavy traffic. The option to
download embedded resources with an HTML page is of course very useful in
simulating a realistic load.

However, the pages contain a few embedded resources from other servers (e.g. ads
from a company-wide ad server). These shouldn't be fetched, because we don't
want to DoS the ad server or distort the statistics that it collects.

It would be useful if there were some way to fetch only those embedded resources
that live on the same host as the HTML page itself. I'll attach a simple
implementation of such an option, in case it's useful.
