httperf-0.9.1 with individual connection times

This past weekend I dabbled in C++ for the first time patching httperf to use display each connection's timing when using verbose mode.

You can find the source here -- https://github.com/jmervine/httperf

Basic installation:

$ git clone https://github.com/jmervine/httperf
$ cd httperf
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure [--prefix=/usr/local]
$ make
$ sudo make install

Note: the [--prefix=/usr/local] is optional and allows you to run two instances of httperf, one at it's default location "/usr/bin/httperf" and this one at "/usr/local/bin/httperf". It's not really necessary, but just incase you're not willing or able to remove your previous installation, it may prove helpful.

Usage:

Simple... use httperf as you always have with the verbose flag.

See: Performance Testing with Httperf for more information on using httperf.

Sample output:

httperf --verbose --client=0/1 --server=mervine.net --port=80 --uri=/ --rate=1 \
  --send-buffer=4096 --recv-buffer=16384 --num-conns=10 --num-calls=1
