<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>

<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>-A <var>auth-username</var>:<var>password</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Supply BASIC Authentication credentials to the server. The username and
|
|
password are separated by a single <code>:</code> and sent on the wire
|
|
base64 encoded. The string is sent regardless of whether the server needs
|
|
it (<em>i.e.</em>, has sent an 401 authentication needed).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-c <var>concurrency</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Number of multiple requests to perform at a time. Default is one
|
|
request at a time.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-C <var>cookie-name</var>=<var>value</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Add a <code>Cookie:</code> line to the request. The argument is
|
|
typically in the form of a <code><var>name</var>=<var>value</var></code>
|
|
pair. This field is repeatable.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-d</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Do not display the "percentage served within XX [ms] table". (legacy
|
|
support).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-e <var>csv-file</var></code></dt>
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-g <var>gnuplot-file</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Write all measured values out as a 'gnuplot' or TSV (Tab separate
|
|
values) file. This file can easily be imported into packages like Gnuplot,
|
|
IDL, Mathematica, Igor or even Excell. The labels are on the first line of
|
|
the file. </dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-h</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Display usage information.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-H <var>custom-header</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Append extra headers to the request. The argument is typically in
|
|
the form of a valid header line, containing a colon-separated field-value
|
|
pair (<em>i.e.</em>, <code>"Accept-Encoding: zip/zop;8bit"</code>).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-i</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Do <code>HEAD</code> requests instead of <code>GET</code>.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-k</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Enable the HTTP KeepAlive feature, <em>i.e.</em>, perform multiple
|
|
requests within one HTTP session. Default is no KeepAlive.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-n <var>requests</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Number of requests to perform for the benchmarking session. The default
|
|
is to just perform a single request which usually leads to
|
|
non-representative benchmarking results.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-p <var>POST-file</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>File containing data to POST.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-P <var>proxy-auth-username</var>:<var>password</var></code></dt>
|
|
<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 wire base64 encoded. The string is sent regardless of whether the
|
|
proxy needs it (<em>i.e.</em>, has sent an 407 proxy authentication
|
|
needed).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-q</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When processing more than 150 requests, <code>ab</code> outputs a
|
|
progress count on <code>stderr</code> every 10% or 100 requests or so. The
|
|
<code>-q</code> flag will suppress these messages.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-s</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>When compiled in (<code>ab -h</code> will show you) use the SSL
|
|
protected <code>https</code> rather than the <code>http</code> protocol.
|
|
This feature is experimental and <em>very</em> rudimentary. You probably
|
|
do not want to use it.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-S</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Do not display the median and standard deviation values, nor display
|
|
the warning/error messages when the average and median are more than
|
|
one or two times the standard deviation apart. And default to the
|
|
min/avg/max values. (legacy support).</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-t <var>timelimit</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Maximum number of seconds to spend for benchmarking. This implies a
|
|
<code>-n 50000</code> internally. Use this to benchmark the server within a
|
|
fixed total amount of time. Per default there is no timelimit.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-T <var>content-type</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Content-type header to use for POST data.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-v <var>verbosity</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Set verbosity level - <code>4</code> and above prints information on
|
|
headers, <code>3</code> and above prints response codes (404, 200, etc.),
|
|
<code>2</code> and above prints warnings and info.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-V</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Display version number and exit.</dd>
|

<dt><code>-w</code></dt>
|

<dd>Print out results in HTML tables. Default table is two columns wide,
|
|
with a white background.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>-x <var><table>-attributes</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd>String to use as attributes for <code><table></code>. Attributes

are inserted <code><table <var>here</var> ></code>.</dd>
|
|

<dt><code>-X <var>proxy</var>[:<var>port</var>]</code></dt>
|

<dd>Use a proxy server for the requests.</dd>

<dt><code>-y <var><tr>-attributes</var></code></dt>

<h2><a name="bugs" id="bugs">Bugs</a></h2>
|
|
<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
|
|
of responses. The rather heavy use of <code>strstr(3)</code> shows up top
|
|
in profile, which might indicate a performance problem; <em>i.e.</em>, you
|
|
would measure the <code>ab</code> performance rather than the server's.</p>
