I know about these tools, including apache's crashme script.

However, those tools lack the sophstication of curl such as cookie
support, basic authentication support, post data support,
https support and keep alive support. To add those feature in
those scripts is a pain. It is so much easier if one can do things like
        curl -b 'foo=bar' -d 'key=val' -u user:pass -parallel 50 \
                -count 100 'https:/path/to/file?k=v'

Thanks for your help, though.
