multiprocessing HTTP performance testing client

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

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 to do HTTPS fetches as well.
