Lightweight HTTP load testing tool.

HTTP Benchw

HTTP Benchw is a lightweight HTTP load testing tool designed to help evaluate the performance of web applications or proxies under various load conditions. It supports comprehensive performance testing of both HTTP endpoints and HTTP proxy servers, with full support for HTTP proxy credential's authentication. The tool enables multiprocess testing for enhanced performance evaluation, allows custom host header configuration, and provides test duration as a limiting factor for controlled testing scenarios.
