I've released a new version of ApacheBench, the Perl API to Apache's ab tool with added features that make it usable for regression testing as well as benchmarking.
I am trying to keep up (catch up) with Apache's work on ab, so expect more releases soon. changes since 0.60: * bugfixes: - fixed a segmentation faults that occurred when custom Content-type: headers were used - fixed bug that prevented Host: lines to be read by server, which broke requests to virtual hosts * better error checking to eliminate configuration related segfaults * arbitrary headers can now be added to HTTP requests * removed 512 byte hard-coded maximum size of HTTP requests; now requests can be arbitrarily large * all HTTP requests are now stored and accessible via regression methods * improved documentation Have fun!
