Is it possible to distribute multiple HTTP requests that use the same TCP connection?

Here are two options. The rand option should be more efficient but not cryptographically secure. You can compare the CPU usage using the timing command.

 

 

Use rand() to generate a psuedo-random 8 digit number (not cryptographically secure)

 

format %010s [expr { int(100000000 * rand()) }]

 

 

Use AES::key to generate a cryptographically secure unique ID

 

set uid [string range [AES::key 256] 8 end]

 

 

Use timing to do a performance comparison:
