Some ideas (contributions/patches welcome): - port to libevent to improve scalability and deal with the file descriptor cap - Add option to output results as rdf (xml), cvs or default - Add ability to read entire POST and GET messages from logs and send them - wsesspage: don't fetch same object more than once (assume the existence of a cache)---this avoids trouble with recursive pages - make httperf easier to use; some ideas: o Make httperf into a network daemon that is controlled by an httperf frontend. This would allow running tests with a single command line even when multiple clients are involved. The performance results should be reported both on a per-client basis and in a summarized form reporting overall server behavior. o Provide (default) scripts to run certain benchmarks. o Provide (default) scripts to produce performance graphs. - use cycle registers to get time on CPUs that have such registers (IA-64, PA-RISC, x86, Alpha, at least) - randomize the uri's generated by --wset so we can defeat file prefetching that the server (or the server's OS) may attempt to do Done: + Specifying --session-cookie without specifying a session workload causes httperf to core-dump (reported by Dick Carter, 10/13/98) + elevate `Session' to same level as Call and Connection + sample session throughput when using sessions (not just rate throughput) + integrate Dick's wsesslog + write man-page + chunked replies fail after the first reply (at least on HP-UX) + core.c does not fully support pipelined requests yet; would require changes to the watchdog management
