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
