thor websocket load testing - add custom http header in web socket handshake request

Question

I am using thor for load testing my twisted based autobahn websocket server. For authentication purposes my websocket application need a custom http header (Authorization : Bearer token) in websocket handshake request as part of authentication. How can I do this ?

Answer 1

It doesn't look like thor supports adding headers so you either need to patch it to add this support or consider another tool like:

• Gatling
• Apache JMeter
