Already used it for Http, Https, SAP over web, Kerberos, SOAP, SMTP, and other special cases of proprietary protocols, demanding special plug ins. Always accurate and scalable. Always open source and completely free.

Locust has the easiest way I've seen to just load your application and load test it. A simple interface gives different parameters such as number of users and it just runs.
