Polyclt emits HTTP/1.0 requests with many HTTP/1.1 features. I beleave
that you need Host: header to be included in every request for your
configuration to work. Polyclt always includes Host: header.
For more information about WebAxe and possible supported
configurations, please see

If the above is not sufficient, please ask more questions.

PolyMix-2,3 and WebAxe-1 are the examples of such a workload (if used
with a --proxy option).
A Robot sends requests to origin servers (see "origins" field in Robot
configuration). A robot will send the corresponding requests to a
proxy if the proxy is specified using the --proxy command line option.
Again, all Robot requests have correct Host header.
