You had probably as the developers that. They/we hang out on the
squid-dev mailing list. This is a general helpdesk kind of list for
admin folk.

Speaking for myself I use a perl script to generate custom replies in
various states of brokenness matching whatever I'm fixing. Or the real
servers people are having trouble with in their bug reports.

Sounds like you want to speak to The Measurement Factory. They have
quite a range of HTTP testing systems.

PS. I'm interested in the options here too if anyone else out there has
more info.
