http_load

An HTTP benchmarking tool.

Runs multiple HTTP fetches in parallel to test the throughput of a web server.

• Emulate 20 requests based on a given URL list file per second for 60 seconds:

http_load -rate {20} -seconds {60} {path/to/urls.txt}

• Emulate 5 concurrent requests based on a given URL list file for 60 seconds:

http_load -parallel {5} -seconds {60} {path/to/urls.txt}

• Emulate 1000 requests at 20 requests per second, based on a given URL list file:

http_load -rate {20} -fetches {1000} {path/to/urls.txt}

• Emulate 1000 requests at 5 concurrent requests at a time, based on a given URL list file:

http_load -parallel {5} -fetches {1000} {path/to/urls.txt}
