httping

[Folkert van Heusden <fo...@vanheusden.com>]

Hi,

I wrote a utility called 'httping'. With httping one can measure the
latency (and throughput) of an HTTP server.
Now I was wondering:
- maybe this is a usefull tool for the Apache developers?
- if so (or not): is there any functionality missing in HTTPing to be
  usefull?

Hmmm, nothing! :-)
I didn't knew it existed or else I would not have bothered creating httping.
Well, httping might be more for the end-user. It generates friendly
output like the regular ping-utility does. It can also be used as a
Nagios plugin.
