This is ApacheBench version 0.51, the Perl API for Apache benchmarking and regression testing. This project is meant to be the foundation for a complete benchmarking and regression testing suite for an advanced, transaction-based mod_perl site. We need to be able to stress our server to its limit while also having a way to verify the HTTP responses for correctness. Since our site is transaction-based (as opposed to content-based), we needed to extend the single-URL ab model to a multiple-URL sequence model. ApacheBench is based on the Apache 1.3.12 ab code (src/support/ab.c). Please see the POD for complete details. Adi Fairbank adi@certsite.com September 26, 2000
