Monitering remote web applications.

[abunney]

Are there any tools that allow you to monitor individual webpage download speeds over password protected ssl?

We have several web applications e.g forums hosted by an application service provider that we want to remotely monitor response times from, but they are accessed via a portal and over https, as these are dynamic/active (jsp) pages we want to monitor the response times of diferent pages. Just pinging the server is no good.

Free would be good

i think you can run a test with lynx and check how long it takes to download. or wget. both open source.

but: you should make more then one download to get a more weightend value. if you want the download speed take a bigger file, if you need response time, a small one.

and: run your test-script on multiple servers or you'll only get the stats from your one host with that one line.
