I'm running into a possible related problem. I'm using http_load to load test a simple hander (the aforementioned unique number generator). When I keep the load low (10-30 requests for 3-5 seconds) it works lovely.
When I stry anything more stressful (say 50 requests for 5 seconds or 30r/10s) I get a cavalcade of "byte count wrong" errors. I wonder if: a) the $i global variable i'm using to increment (in concert with Timestamp/random (for now)) gets to big? b) the http_load program asks for too many ports and for some reason (apache, tcpstack?) linux (rh 7.2) doesn't like this any ideas? tia David (btw - I just picked up the mod_perl Developer's cookbook yesterday, and I'm eager to get into it) Geoffrey Young wrote: > >> >> I thought $r->content_type was used for the server to set the content >> type for a response, not discover it from the request. > > > > $r->content_type is just a get/set routine for the request record, > giving you the option to either peek at it or set it yourself. > >> So it should I >> think be empty till set. > > > > yup. typically mod_mime does this, so by the fixup stage it's > typically available for comparisons. > > > HTH > > > --Geoff > > > > >
