Http load test tool for variable URLs

Question

Any one know about a load test tool like "Apache Bench" to send variable URLs. (Same server, but different Query Strings)

For example,

ab -text list.txt -n 1000 http://test.com/search?

list.txt

name=abc&age=10
name=pqr&age=20
anything=anything&age=30
......

Note : Actually there is no such option -text in apache bench

Try siege as it offers what you need. You could create url files that use bash like parameters so that you don't have to repeat yourself. It also support basic auth, POST, a login url and much more.

siege -f urls.txt 

urls.txt:

URL=https://www.example.com/
$(URL)index.php?ab=1
$(URL)site.php?different=12
