Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible 
facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server 
performance.
The focus of httperf is not on implementing one particular benchmark but on 
providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the construction of 
both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics
of httperf are its robustness, which includes the ability to generate and 
sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1 and SSL protocols, and its 
extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements.
