Polygraph can do this, but it is not a "hard workload".

You would need to use a single robot, set working set size to 1
object, set recurrence ratio to 100%, and public ratio to 0%. You can
start with simple.pg as a template.

I am sure that this extremely artificial workload will lead to some
negative side-effects in Polygraph behavior, but it should work.

Unfortunately, Polygraph does not support https yet. We are waiting
for somebody to sponsor the development :).

Note that Squid acts as a simple tunnel for SSL requests (no caching
or even complex header processing, etc.).
