About:
Sproxy is a lightweight HTTP proxy server designed specifically for load testing and web stress testing scenarios. It captures and logs HTTP requests in a format directly compatible with the Siege benchmarking tool. This allows developers to record real-world traffic patterns and replay them under controlled load conditions.
Key Features:
  • Captures HTTP traffic in Siege-compatible log format
  • Lightweight and easy to configure
  • Filters and records specific URL patterns
  • Ideal for generating realistic load testing datasets
Use Cases:
  • Recording production traffic patterns for offline load testing
  • Creating custom Siege script files from real user sessions
  • Analyzing HTTP request sequences for performance benchmarking
Alternatives:
  • mitmproxy – More feature-rich but heavier; better for general debugging than load testing data collection
  • tcpdump – Captures raw packets but requires parsing to create Siege-compatible logs
