Introduction
httperf is a tool to measure web server  performance.
Example
$ httperf –server haproxy.com –port=80 –uri /frontend_dev.php –num-conns=25
httperf –client=0/1 –server=haproxy.com –port=80 –uri=/frontend_dev.php –send-buffer=4096 –recv-buffer=16384 –num-conns=25 –num-calls=1
Maximum connect burst length: 1

Total: connections 25 requests 25 replies 25 test-duration 0.528 s

Connection rate: 47.4 conn/s (21.1 ms/conn, <=1 concurrent connections)
Connection time [ms]: min 4.9 avg 21.1 max 408.2 median 4.5 […]

httperf is a benchmarking tool that measures the HTTP request throughput of a web server. The way it achieves this is by sending requests to the server at a fixed rate and measuring the rate at which replies arrive. Running the test several times and with monotonically increasing request rates, one can see the reply […]
