-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B ab
-is a tool for benchmarking your Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
-server. It is designed to give you an impression of how your current
-Apache installation performs.  This especially shows you how many
-requests per second your Apache installation is capable of serving. 
-.PP
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP 12
-.B \-k 
-Enable the HTTP KeepAlive feature, i.e., perform multiple requests within one
-HTTP session. Default is no KeepAlive.
-.TP 12
-.BI \-n " requests"
-Number of requests to perform for the benchmarking session.  The default is to
-just perform a single request which usually leads to non-representative
-benchmarking results.
-.TP 12
-.BI \-t " timelimit"
-Maximum number of seconds to spend for benchmarking. This implies
-.B \-d
-Do not display the "percentage served within XX [ms] table". (legacy
-support).
-.TP 12
-.B \-S
-Do not display the median and standard deviation values, nor display
-the warning/error messages when the average and median are more than
-one or two times the standard deviation apart. And default to the 
-min/avg/max values. (legacy support).
-.TP 12
-.B \-s
-When compiled in (bb -h will show you) use the SSL protected
-.B https
-rather than the 
-.B http
-protocol. This feature is experimental and
-.B very
-rudimentary. You propably do not want to use it.
-.TP 12
-.B \-k 
-Enable the HTTP KeepAlive feature; that is, perform multiple requests
-within one HTTP session. Default is no KeepAlive.
-a 
-.B \-n 
-.B 50000
-internally. Use this to benchmark the server within a fixed total amount of
-time.  Per default there is no timelimit. 
-.TP 12
-.BI \-c " concurrency"
-Number of multiple requests to perform at a time. 
-Default is one request at a time.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-p " POST file"
-File containing data to POST.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-A " Authentication username:password"
-Supply BASIC Authentication credentials to the server. The username
-and password are separated by a single ':' and sent on the wire uuencoded.
-The string is sent regardless of whether the server needs it; (i.e., has
-sent an 401 authentication needed).
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-X " proxy[:port]"
-Route all requests through the proxy (at optional port).
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-P " Proxy-Authentication username:password"
-Supply BASIC Authentication credentials to a proxy en-route. The username
-and password are separated by a single ':' and sent on the wire uuencoded.
-The string is sent regardless of whether the proxy needs it; (i.e., has
-sent an 407 proxy authentication needed).
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-C " Cookie name=value"
-Add a 'Cookie:' line to the request. The argument is typically in the form
-of a 'name=value' pair. This field is repeatable.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-p " Header string"
-Append extra headers to the request. The argument is typically in the form
-of a valid header line, containing a colon-separated field-value pair.
-(i.e., 'Accept-Encoding: zip/zop;8bit').
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-T " content-type"
-Content-type header to use for POST data.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-g " gnuplot file"
-Write all measured values out as a 'gnuplot' or TSV (Tab separate values)
-file. This file can easily be imported into packages like Gnuplot, IDL, Mathematica,
-Igor or even Excell. The labels are on the first line of the file. 
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-q
-When processing more than 150 requsts; 
-.B ab
-outputs a progress count on 
-.B stderr
-every 10% or 100 requests or so. The 
-.B -q
-flag qill suppress these messages.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-e " CSV file"
-Write a Comma separated value (CSV) file which contains for each
-percentage (from 1% to 100%) the time (in milli seconds) it took
-to serve that percentage of the requests. This is usually more
-usefull than the 'gnuplot' file; as the results are already
-'binned'.
-
-.TP 12
-.B \-v 
-Set verbosity level - 4 and above prints information on headers, 3 and
-above prints response codes (404, 200, etc.), 2 and above prints
-warnings and info.
-
-.TP 12
-.BI \-w
-Print out results in HTML tables.  Default table is two columns wide,
-with a white background.
-.TP 12
-.BI \-x " attributes"
-String to use as attributes for <table>.  Attributes are inserted
-<table 
-.B here
->
-.TP 12
-.BI \-y " attributes"
-String to use as attributes for <tr>.
-.TP 12
-.BI \-z " attributes"
-String to use as attributes for <td>.
-.TP 12
-.B \-V
-Display version number and exit.
-.TP 12
-.B \-h 
-Display usage information.
-.PD
-.SH BUGS
-There are various statically declared buffers of fixed length. Combined
-with the lazy parsing of the command line arguments, the response headers
-from the server and other external inputs, this might bite you.
-.P
-It does not implement HTTP/1.x fully; only accepts some 'expected' forms
-of responses. The rather heavy use of 
-.BR strstr(3)
-shows up top in profile,
-which might indicate a performance problem; i.e., you would measure the
-.BR ab
-performance rather than the server's.
-
-.SH SEE ALSO
-.BR httpd(8)
-.P
-The HTML output is not as complete as the text output.
-.P
-Up to version 1.3d
-.B ab
-has propably reported values way to low for most measurements;
-as a single timeout (which is usually in the order of seconds)
-will shift several thousands of milli-second responses by a
-considerable factor. This was further componded by a serious
-interger overrun which would for realistic run's (i.e. those
-longer than a few minutes) produce believable but totally 
-bogus results. Thanks to Sander Temme <sander@covalent.net>
-for solving this riddle.
