About

=====

    :target: https://travis-ci.org/povilasb/httpmeter

This is a hackable python based HTTP/HTTPS benchmarking tool.

It supports traffic proxying for both HTTP and HTTPS, thus also can be used to

test performance of proxy servers.

It is implemented with asyncio and runs on Python >= 3.6.

You can optionally use `uvloop `_ for

better performance.

Usage

=====

::

    pip3 install httpmeter

Synopsis::

    httpmeter [options] URL

Options::

    -h  Display usage information.

    -c, --concurrency 

        How many requests should be executed in parallel.

    -n, requests 

        How many requests to make in total.

    -H, --header 

        Additional headers to send with every request. Multiple entries

        allowed. E.g.

            --header "Connection: close" --header "User-Agent: benchmark"

    -X, --proxy 

        Proxy address. E.g. http://user1:pass123@localhost:8080

    --uvloop

        Use uvloop to increase networking performance.

    -p N, --process-count N

        Use N processes to distribute requests over separate CPU cores.

        By default uses the same number of processes as there are CPU

        cores.

Development

===========

Get dependencies::

    $ virtualenv --python3 pyenv

    $ pyenv/bin/pip install -r requirements/prod.txt

Run the benchmark::

    $ pyenv/bin/python -m httpmeter -c 100 -n 500 \

        -X http://username:password@1.2.3.4:8080 http://target.com
