It would be useful to have another option in addition to ab and http_load -- httperf provides useful features not found in http_load, including pipelining and replay. > According to make search key=httperf, OpenBSD doesn't have httperf port yet. > (FreeBSD and NetBSD have, though) > > I'm thinking that If nobody's doing this, it's not bad to try it myself. I've had difficulty using http_load on OpenBSD to load-test a single http server, particularly when pf is enabled with "keep state" (my best guess is OpenBSD's randomized source port is triggering the 'birthday problem'), but even without keeping state I just can't hit a single remote server with non-pipelined requests from an OpenBSD client the way a Solaris client can.
