Multiple page hit script

Zascar

Ok guys can someone help me with a practical joke? Someone I know is obsessed with their bebo and how many thousands of hits they have. I couldn't care less, but if I suddenly got loads of hits and overtook them it would really piss them off, and it would be very funny for me and my mates... Yes i know its really stupid and childish but can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you cant... I imagine unless bebo were open source you wouldn't be able to, because bebo's database keeps track of page hits...

Well, you could have a script which just loads your page over and over and over. Once every ten seconds say. Pointless though.

I doubt that would work either. Any decent hit counter would take the session into account so it would still only register as one hit.

Ahh, ok I kind of had an idea that might be the case.. ok thanks anyway

Look into Perl and the LWP modules. They might help you out a bit.

Probably won't work though... while they'll most likely count as seperate sessions, you'll be coming from the same IP each time.

There again, hits from behind something like a proxy would still count as seperate hits so I dunno...
