Hi, Every now and then people are complaining about the bug in ab2 that makes it unusable for benchmarking from FreeBSD (as a client). "ab2" is a HTTP benchmark that's bundled with the Apache web server. I found the apparent solution and I'd like to invite everyone who's interested to register on Apache's bugzilla and vote for the bug to show their interest (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44584). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For years I'd been trying to figure out why ab would work fine with a very small number of requests, but would block indefinitely when performing large sums of them. I'll be sure to vote that up. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
