Description

Multiple URL requests for ApacheBench. You can set URL list with '-L filename'.

Compile ab-multi with random url patch

In ubuntu install apache2*

apt-get install apache2*
gcc -I /usr/include/apr-1.0 -I /usr/include/apache2 ab.c -o ab  -lm -lapr-1 -laprutil-1 -I /usr/local/ssl/include -L /usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -Wall

Example Usage

ab -c 100 -v 4 -n 2000 -L urls.txt > results.txt

Known Bugs

The first URL selected per concurrent user (-c 100 - above example) will always be the first URL in the supplied file (-L urls.txt). Every subsequent URL selected will be random. So in the above example the first url will be called 100 times concurrently, then 1900 random urls will be selected from the file urls.txt. A fork fix would be appreciated.
