Hi all, I have tried to use the ab tool which comes with the apache package of my Ubuntu 14.04 distro to stress test a web server, such server lies behind a CDN and the use of the TLS Server Name Indication is required.
Unfortunately my ab binary does not cope well with that and this is what I get: dpkg -l *apache2-utils* apache2-utils 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1 amd64 Benchmarking api.sit.cymesfood.osp.tech (be patient)...SSL handshake failed (1). 139742942701280:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert h andshake failure:s23_clnt.c:770: ..done Googling the problem I found people with similar issues who have re-built the apache source tarball after having applied some patches or manually having modified the code. https://blogs.oracle.com/meena/entry/apachebench_ab_and_sni Such guide is based on httpd-2.3.11-beta The issue with that is that I do not have much diff context to see where the changes should be applied and the starting tarball is different httpd-2.3.11 vs httpd-2.4.20, furthermore I though that asking directly the community involved in the project could give me a better idea about what's needed. I have built the httpd-2-.4.20 tarball but the problem is still there, has it been fixed in newer version ? is there a workaround for that ?
