Siege is a regression test and benchmark utility. It can stress test a single URL with a user defined number of simulated users, or it can read many URLs into memory and stress them simultaneously. The program reports the total number of hits recorded, bytes transferred, response time, concurrency, and return status. Siege supports HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 protocols, GET and POST directives, cookies, transaction logging, and basic authentication. Its features are configurable on a per user basis.
Release Notes: Although RFC 2616 specifies that Location directives must contain an absolute URI, most Web clients normalize relative URIs. This release adds conventional compliance with relative URI handling. Ironically, it also includes a new default user-agent so that field is in compliance with RFC 2616.
