This is a simple toolkit for stress testing libevent2 and libevhtp.

srv/ is a simple HTTP server. The eventual aim is to make the size URL return a response size that's variable and controllable by a request parameter.

clt/ is a simple HTTP test client. It's single threaded for now and continuously requests the same URL (for now!) from the same IP (for now!) and to the same IP (for now!). It's designed to both test web servers and evaluate/test libevent2+libevhtp.

Why?

.. because there wasn't really any high performance, high throughput, large number of request workloads. It's up there with apachebench in terms of request rate, but it does handle many more concurrent sockets and it has a more sensible test lifecycle.
