Small question because I did not see it mentioned in the documentation anywhere, but does Gattling support implementing long poll clients? I ran into this issue from 2012 but I don’t know if anything has changed since then: [https://github.com/gatling/gatling/issues/300](https://github.com/gatling/gatling/issues/300). I have a service where web sockets were not an implementation option so scale testing our LP system is required.

Thanks,  
Phil

Hi Phil,

No, we currently don’t support long polling out of the box at the moment.  
You could consider forking the SSE support, it’s quite similar.
