A bit of bug? about web-traffic-generator

[ecapuano]

what URLs are you using in config.py ? A 404 is a web server error - not something my script generates.

[ecapuano]

can you copy/paste the output you're seeing?

[arize99]

The output doesn't show anything. Just a blank white screen.

[arize99]

public_html/cgi-bin/gen.py
public_html/cgi-bin/config.py

You didn't make any comment on the code I added to avoid the 404. I think the browser couldn't detect it was a .py until I added print "Content-type: text/html\n\n". Then it return a 404 but it displayed a blank page.
Please re-run on your own end. What am I supposed to see if it works?

[ecapuano]

I just did a fresh clone of the repo and ran it without issues... Here is what the output should look like.

bash$ python gen.py
Traffic generator started...

Clcking 5 links deep into 7 different root URLs,
waiting between 5 and 10 seconds between requests.

This script will run indefinitely. Ctrl+C to stop.

You mention having a blank white screen.... but this script does not render anything on a screen other than standard out on your console... There is no web browser involvement.

[arize99]

Well, my WHM said that they have Python version 2.6 installed on the server I am using. So I don't know the version of Python your script is running on.

[arize99]

Is there like a vivid video of how you ran it and all the details concerned?

[ecapuano]

Here ya go - from 0 to finish. The part where the code breaks is me hitting Ctrl+C so I can demonstrate when Debug is enabled.
