As I tried to explain in my previous message, "test runs for 60 seconds" can have two different meanings: 1) the load is generated for 60 seconds and 2) from first request started to the last request finished it takes 60 seconds. Make sure you are using the correct meaning. Also, it might be a good idea to look into nginx access logs to verify both time and numbers reported by your tool. > Shall I expect that even for HTTPS, rate limiting should work as perfectly > as plain HTTP case.

The difference of HTTPS is that it, in contrast to HTTP, requires a lot of resources for SSL handshakes, and it is perfectly normal if your server cannot handle 500 handshakes per second at all. As such, total test time might be significantly different from load generation time. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
