CCNP - Routing : Generating HTML Traffic

Hi Everyone,
Question - Is there a way to simulate HTML traffic on a physical lab or in GNS3? I think I might be able to do an extended ping or something. This is for PBR and ACL scenarios.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Node

You can do this with IP SLA. Here is a guide GNS3 IP SLA Traffic Generator

The way I would do this is by integrating a linux VM into your environment directly and using a quick python script to create a socket connection to a site.

This one is http, but it should get what you need done. Just make sure to run it in 2.7. I believe all libraries specified in that post are built-in.

Even simpler, just telnet to a destination on port 80!

Or run http server on one of the routers with path to your ios file, then run copy http... from another router. One way of generating traffic, wont be exactly html but over port 80 thought
