I've tried to test a rather complex ASP.NET app not under my control using my tried and true methods, like The Grinder, but it fails due to the authentication mechanism and the postbacks (very long URLs.)

Do you know of a good free tool that allows to stress test an ASP.NET application and hopefully allows for a replay of an actual session recorded via a provided proxy (something like Fiddler, or The Grinder itself)?

Any other suggestion (non free, manual methods) to make such a test are welcome as well.

+2  A: 

Selenium Grid

Visual Studio Team System has a load runner also, not used it however and of course it is not free unless you already have it!

It's not free even when you already have it :-) I'm downloading the Grid as I write, thanks.

Really, typical. Oh well, Selenium does the job and has a good recorder.

Sadly it requires Firefox :-( This app is almost IE only

It runs fine in ie

Currently, the only robust solution for running multiple IE instances on a single machine with Selenium Grid is to use virtualization (multiple VMs, a single IE instance per VM).

Another option is Watin
