The -proxy argument to the http_load port does not have any effect. HTTP requests are always made direct to the remote server instead of going via the specified proxy server. The same issue can be found in the NetBSD PR database located here: http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=26541 Fix: This patch is essentially identical to the one from NetBSD PR 26541, with a further change that appears to have been missed in that PR. The attached patch fixes the issue and has been tested successfully. After rebuilding with the attached patch, http_load correctly sends traffic via the specified proxy server. How-To-Repeat: Run the http_load command with a proxy: http_load -proxy <proxyhost>:<port> -rate 5 -seconds 10 urls.txt Observe that no traffic goes via the proxy server, and instead all requests are made direct to the remote web servers specified in urls.txt
