Re: Load testing HTTP 1.1 and SSL

[Asankha C. Perera]

Hi Oleg I used the HttpCore port of the benchmark and for actual dynamic SOAP benchmarking its actually faster than Apache Bench for me. The ability to use chunking and SSL is great.. and I have enhanced your code to support concurrency like with ab. For static html GETs ab did around 6600tps (over localhost to my same machine for tomcat) while the benchmark did around 3900 - but just from within the IDE without any optimizations or tuning. But for real world SOAP calls for which I am interested, the actual tps by the backend server was much lower and hence there is no visible difference for me between the clients, but HttpCore benchmark is still faster as I can now use keepalives with chunking :-) I will test this next week over real network connections and multiple physical machines.. but I am seeing great results already :-) I will also share the modifications I have done and would definitely recommend this to anyone who ever looked at JMeter or expensive http/s load testing tools regards asankha Asankha C.

I am very interested in the code Oleg shared - as its Java - I can extend and work with it more easily :-) and I am hoping JDK 1.5 would optimize it to C code levels when used for a benchmark.. I will let you know my results and outcome thanks asankha Oleg Kalnichevski wrote: On Fri, 2007-03-30 at 15:17 +0530, Asankha C.

Apache bench unfortunately does not support 1.1 and I think its SSL support is still not very stable. thanks asankha Hi Asankha, Have you looked at JMeter? Alternatively you may also take a look at HttpBenchmark tool in Commons HttpClient 'contrib' package. The tool implements a subset of AB commands and is fully HTTP/1.1 capable. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/benchmark/ There is also an HttpCore port of the HttpBenchmark tool http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/httpcomponents/httpcore/trunk/contrib/src/main/java/org/apache/http/contrib/benchmark/ One should be able to add SSL support without much efforts Oleg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
