<p><code>ab</code> is a tool for benchmarking your Apache Hypertext
|
||
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to give you an impression
|
||
of how your current Apache installation performs. This especially shows
|
||
you how many requests per second your Apache installation is capable of
|
||
serving.</p>

<dd>Write a Comma separated value (CSV) file which contains for each

percentage (from 1% to 100%) the time (in milliseconds) it took to serve
|
||
that percentage of the requests. This is usually more useful than the

'gnuplot' file; as the results are already 'binned'.</dd>

|

|

<dd>Supply BASIC Authentication credentials to a proxy en-route. The

username and password are separated by a single <code>:</code> and sent on

the warning/error messages when the average and median are more than

one or two times the standard deviation apart. And default to the

<dt><code>-t <var>timelimit</var></code></dt>

<p>There are various statically declared buffers of fixed length. Combined

with the lazy parsing of the command line arguments, the response headers

from the server and other external inputs, this might bite you.</p>

<p>It does not implement HTTP/1.x fully; only accepts some 'expected' forms
