[nylug-talk] siege

[Miguel Gonzalez Castaños]

Hi,

  Has anybody has used siege for benchmarking a Web Server? I'm keeping
on getting this error:

  Error: socket: connection timed out.: Operation now in progress

  The developer of siege claims that the web server should say why is
this failing but I'm wondering if this is a siege issue or OS issue.

  From my humble opinion, if the socket times out, the web server will
never know that it is very likely there was an atttempt of connecting
from the client

  Any ideas or where should look at? Or any other benchmark tool that is
more reliable, easy to use (and open source) ?

  Miguel
