This will waste bandwidth, though; what I have done is to create a
CGI script that returns streams of characters, depending on the
parameters. Something like http://www.test.com/script/12345 will
give you 12345 characters. Then I used libwww-perl in a script
that called the script with random numbers as to minimize hits.
To simulate the delay, you could put sleep()'s in the CGI.
