Short: Multiprocessing http test client Author: Jef Poskanzer Uploader: Carsten Larsen (carsten larsen mail com) Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.00 Architecture: m68k-amigaos <= 1.3 http_load runs multiple http fetches in parallel, to test the throughput of a web server. However unlike most such test clients, it runs in a single process, so it doesn't bog down the client machine. It can be configured and compiled to do https fetches as well. Sample run: > http_load -rate 2 -seconds 300 urls 591 fetches, 8 max parallel, 5.33606e+06 bytes, in 300 seconds 9028.87 mean bytes/connection 1.97 fetches/sec, 17786.9 bytes/sec msecs/connect: 28.8932 mean, 44.243 max, 24.488 min msecs/first-response: 63.5362 mean, 81.624 max, 57.803 min HTTP response codes: code 200 -- 591 See enclosed guide for more details.
