Hello !

I have a problem with the verbose of siege on my centos 7 machine. I have no verbose, even if I'm putting the '-v' flag.

Here is the configuration :

siege -C

When I'm looking at the siege.conf the verbose is at 'True' :

cat .siege/siege.conf | grep 'verbose'
# ex: verbose = true|false
verbose = true

The consequence of this problem is that I don't see any messages when I execute siege :

siege -r1 -c1 -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 'http://*.*.*.*:8080/map POST https://www.google.com/search?q=cat' -v

{       "transactions":                            1,
        "availability":                       100.00,
        "elapsed_time":                         0.01,
        "data_transferred":                     0.00,
        "response_time":                        0.01,
        "transaction_rate":                   100.00,
        "throughput":                           0.00,
        "concurrency":                          1.00,
        "successful_transactions":                 1,
        "failed_transactions":                     0,
        "longest_transaction":                  0.01,
        "shortest_transaction":                 0.01
}

With or without the -v flag, it's the same :'(

Thanks in advance.

It appears that the last feature 'json output' is automatically to True and cancel the flag '-v' or the configuration 'verbose=true'

So, to resolve the 'problem', you need to put the 'json_output=false'

I let you decide if this is a bug or not.

Hi, I was able to reproduce this issue with the default configuration file:

Since the default configuration file has json_output set to true
( siegerc.in : https://github.com/JoeDog/siege/blob/master/doc/siegerc.in#L70 )
and the json_output monopolizes stdout, superceding verbose,
( init.c : https://github.com/JoeDog/siege/blob/master/src/init.c#L691-L696 )

I created a PR with a proposal to improve this:
#182
