HTTP Post

You can send the millipede as POST data to a HTTP server:

millipede 10 --http-host=http://localhost:5000/ --http-name message

Using --http-auth you can specify a username/password for authentication:

millipede 10 --http-host=http://localhost:5000/ --http-name message --http_auth=user:pass

And using --http-data key=value to can add more variables:

millipede 10 --http-host=http://localhost:5000/ --http-name message --http-auth=user:pass --http-data myvar=mydata

Some default settings can be set from a rcfile.

Here is a sample of a rcfile:

# set default size to 10
