using sendfile for posts in ab

Is there any reason not to use sendfile when ab wants to post a file? It seems a little silly to buffer the entire file. -- Aryeh Katz SecureD Services http://www.secured-services.com/ 410 653 0700 x 2

ab and users (was:[PATCH] ab.c: check for invalid value for concurrency)

Just a quick surveyon how robust ab should be. Ithink that ab should not seg fault on any user parameters, Icould spent some time making it a little bit more robust. Is it of any interest, or the general thinking is; if the user enters an out of range or a bogus value and seg fault

RE: ab and users (was:[PATCH] ab.c: check for invalid value forconcurrency)

I think (as a rule) that no program should segfault on the user - it reflects badly on the design.It should error out if it thinks there's something wrong ! (especially programs like 'ab') -Madhu -Original Message-From: Jean-Jacques Clar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent

[PATCH 1.3] work around some annoyances with ab error handling

(or consider this a bitch at the mess we call ab; just cleaning out some of my source trees of potentially useful changes) if errno != 0, err() prints the errno string... yet err() is called sometimes when errno is irrelevant; large-scale rework of error handling would be nice

Re: [PATCH 1.3] work around some annoyances with ab error handling

+1, though it would probably be better to add a parameter to err to pass errno (or 0) rather than using the global in this way. Roy

Re: 'ab' apache benchmark improvements

Ian Holsman sent the following bits through the ether: http://httpd.apache.org/test/flood/ I'm having a look at flood in comparison to ab and there's one thing I'm not quite clear on. The source indicates it supports cookies in the round robin mode. Do I need to enable that? Actually, what I

doesn't correspond to what it actually does. Name change? Searching for anything on ab is just about impossible, and 'apache benchmark' isn't much better. ' ab - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool' at least gets you the man pages, but nothing in the bug database. A new name might be helpful

Hi David. have you looked at Flood ??? I would suggest you take a look at that first, as it is 100 times better than ab. http://httpd.apache.org/test/flood/ I know justin aaron did a presentation about this.. they may be kind enough to mail you a copy/link Regards Ian David N. Welton wrote

Can AB be compared ?

Just to have some fun - Below is the result of running a build of AB against the same apache 1.3.0 (stock) It is a simple loop - checkout against a tag; cd apache-1.3/src cp Configuration.tmp Configuration ./Configure make cd support make) and then run 20 times ./ab -c 30 -n 1

Re: Can AB be compared ?

FWIW, is you don't have writev and are not using ssl, ab in the 1.3 tree is broken and won't even compile at present :( We really should fix it - but maybe the person who broke it could do that as I'm sure they know what they were intending with the changes. david - Original Message
