Hi,
I am new to this, but can anyone help me with locating code for a
bot that can simulate a user accessing a site.

Details:
We want to see how a site handles user load, we can get the stats
but we are trying to simulate a user on a remote site ( specified ) . We
have Solaris 2.5 running here and I think that some of the other bots have
had problems with the ports etc. Hence the ideal bot should be able to
access our site from a specified location, as a user, then we can monitor
our web site's usage.
