Simple tool to benchmark sites (rpm, response time, etc) EXAMPLES: 3 concurrent threads and 100 total requests: nethttp_ab -n100 -c3 http://www.yoursite.com OR simulate one user and follow all local links on the page: nethttp_ab -f http://localhost:3000 OR simulate a user who will follow all inner links until depth 2 that is [main_pages_links]:depth0 => [link1, link2, link3]:depth1 => [link11, link12, link21, link22, link31]:depth2 nethttp_ab -f2 http://localhost:3000 OR simulate 3 users (all local links on the page will be visited once) nethttp_ab --follow_links -c3 http://localhost:3000 Also you could add --verbose or -v option to check which urls being requested in follow_links mode.
