pepe

name	pepe
description	Use this skill when the user wants to run HTTP load tests, benchmark endpoints, or generate traffic against a URL with configurable concurrency and request counts.

pepe Plugin

HTTP load generator written in Rust. Send simple or advanced HTTP requests with configurable concurrency, timeouts, headers, and curl command parsing support.

Commands

Load Testing

• pepe load test — Run HTTP load test against a target URL

Utility

• pepe self version — Print pepe version
• pepe _ _ — Passthrough to pepe CLI

Usage Examples

• "Load test https://example.com with 1000 requests"
• "Benchmark my API with 50 concurrent connections"
• "Run a POST load test with custom headers"
• "Convert a curl command into a load test"
• "Test my server with a 10-second timeout"

Installation

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://pepe.mhaimdat.com/install.sh | bash

Examples

# Simple GET load test (default: 200 requests, 50 concurrent, 2s timeout)
pepe load test https://example.com

# Send 1000 requests with 20 concurrent connections
pepe load test https://example.com -n 1000 -c 20

# Set a 10-second timeout
pepe load test https://example.com -n 500 -c 10 -t 10

# POST request with custom headers
pepe load test https://api.example.com/data -n 100 -c 5 -m POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer token"

# Custom User-Agent
pepe load test https://example.com -n 200 -u "Mozilla/5.0"

# Parse a curl command and run it as a load test
pepe load test -n 1000 -c 10 --curl -- curl -X POST 'https://httpbin.org/post' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"key": "value"}'

Key Features

• Simple syntax: pepe <url> for quick tests
• Concurrent connections: -c flag for parallelism
• Request count: -n flag for total requests
• Timeout control: -t flag for per-request timeout
• Custom headers: -H flag (repeatable)
• HTTP methods: -m flag for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
• User-Agent: -u flag for custom user agents
• Curl parsing: --curl flag to parse and convert curl commands
• Rust-powered: Fast and efficient HTTP benchmarking

Notes

• Default settings: 200 requests, 50 concurrent connections, 2-second timeout
• The --curl flag requires -- before the actual curl command
• Does not require curl to be installed when using the --curl feature
• Results include latency percentiles and throughput metrics
