Runs a load test on the selected URL or websocket. Easy to extend minimally for your own ends.
Just run: $ npm install loadtest
Run as a script to load test a URL:
$ node lib/loadtest.js [URL] or [websocket URL]
To get online help, run loadtest.js without parameters:
$ node lib/loadtest.js
Add your own values for concurrency and requests per second:
$ node lib/loadtest.js [concurrency [request per second]] ...
loadtest will create a simultaneous number of clients.
Controls the number of requests per second for each client.
Open connections without keep-alive: send header 'Connection: Close' instead of 'Connection: Keep-alive'.
loadtest bundles a test server. To run it:
$ node lib/server.js [port]
It will show the number of requests received per second, the latency in answering requests and the headers for selected requests.
This server returns a short text 'OK' for every request, removing request processing from latency measurements.
