http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31268 ab: add an option to override the target host Summary: ab: add an option to override the target host Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.50 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: support AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When testing a server, the "Host:" header can matter. I needed a way to disconnect the target host as derived from the URL on the command line and the "Host:" header that ab sends. I wrote a patch against ab from 2.0.50 that adds a "-F hostname" option (which I will attach once this ticket exists). Say I have a new server and want to see how it compares with an existing one with a vhost named www.example.com. Rather than play with hosts files or DNS, this patch allows you to test "newbox" by running: ab -F newbox http://www.example.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
