Now that you mention it I kind of remember patching ab a long time ago with this: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=118581179812925&w=1 (to use it together with keepalive). So something like httperf should work better as test tool (maybe also siege but not sure about ssl session reuse there). rr _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
