web_bench's Introduction

Web benchmarking tool

Description

This tool is used to benchmark how many requests per second a web server can handle.

This tool is intended for educational purposes and must not be misused.

I made it to stress test my own web server written in C++.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/Quozul/web_bench.git
$ cd web_bench
$ cargo install
$ web_bench --help

Example output

$ # Send a lot of GET requests
