gatling can do HTTP redirects.
To do it, create a symlink like this:
$ ln -s http://www.google.com/ search.html
Then, if someone tries to access search.html via HTTP, gatling will
detect the special broken symlink and send the user a HTTP redirect to
www.google.com.
To redirect an URL ending in /, create that directory and create a
symlink as above for index.html.
UPDATE: gatling can now also do fallback redirects. If you have a farm
of mirrors, all replicating off a central one, you can tell gatling to
not generate 404s on the mirrors, but redirects.
SUPPORT_FALLBACK_REDIRECT must be #defined in gatling.c for this to be
compiled in.
If, for example, you run on your mirror machine
gatling -r http://fallback.example.com
and someone requests
http://mirror.example.com/notyetuploaded.html
gatling will generate a temporary redirect to
http://fallback.example.com/notyetuploaded.html
