Scott, I would like that source please. It would be useful to test thisIt can test any server that will respond to an http "GET /" request. I've included an example at the end of this email that runs 8 clients running for 15 seconds. There is a man page included, but it doesn't have all of the features documented. You'll have to cruise through the source to find everything it does. I wrote this to test a firewall that was in front of a web server. So it really wasn't written for public consumption. Send me some email if you have any questions or make any changes. And share the program with others.....
linux server, I could probably use it to test IIS too huh? Then I could show
them (The pres of my company) the difference.
