How do I start a new session

[anabuki]

Hello,

I am trying to start a load process but I want to test not only my application but also my authentication infrastructure. I want my webserver to authenticate every request instead of reusing sessions. I am testing a rest api that uses basic authentication.

The idea is that I have millions of mobile users making a single request by day instead of a few thousands making constant use of the application.

Can anyone help me ?

From requests documentation it can be seen that requests.Session class has close() method. You can probably call slef.client.close() after each request so that new connection are made for each request.

I have never tried this, just an idea.Let me know if it works. More on this can be found in the documentation.

Hi, were you able to get it to work? If so, could you share you script?
