## Interface

![interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ikruglov/slapper/master/img/interface.png)

## Usage

```bash

$ ./slapper -help

Usage of ./slapper:

  -H value

    	HTTP header 'key: value' set on all requests. Repeat for more than one header.

  -base64body

    	Bodies in targets file are base64-encoded

  -maxY duration

    	max on Y axe (default 100ms)

  -minY duration

    	min on Y axe (default 0ms)

  -rate uint

    	Requests per second (default 50)

  -targets string

    	Targets file

  -timeout duration

    	Requests timeout (default 30s)

  -workers uint

    	Number of workers (default 8)

```

## Key bindings

* q, ctrl-c - quit

* r - reset stats

* k - increase rate by 100 RPS

* j - decrease rate by 100 RPS

## Targets syntax

The targets file is line-based. Its syntax is:

	HTTP_METHOD url

	$ body

The body line is optional. The rules for what is considered to be a body

line are:

1. If something starts with `$ ` (dollar-sign and space), it's a body

2. If the line is literally `{}`, it's an empty body

A missing body line is taken to mean an empty request body. Point (2) is there

for backwards-compatibility.
