.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBh2load\fP [OPTIONS]... [URI]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY server
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <URI>
2015-01-15 16:10:16 +01:00
Specify URI to access. Multiple URIs can be specified.
URIs are used in this order for each client. All URIs
are used, then first URI is used and then 2nd URI, and
so on. The scheme, host and port in the subsequent
URIs, if present, are ignored. Those in the first URI
2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
are used solely. Definition of a base URI overrides all
scheme, host or port values.

.B \-r, \-\-rate=<N>
2015-08-08 18:13:35 +02:00
Specifies the fixed rate at which connections are
2015-07-28 17:01:12 +02:00
created. The rate must be a positive integer,
representing the number of connections to be made per
second. When the rate is 0, the program will run as it
normally does, creating connections at whatever variable
rate it wants. The default value for this option is 0.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-C, \-\-num\-conns=<N>
Specifies the total number of connections to create.
The total number of connections must be a positive
integer. On each connection, \fI\%\-m\fP requests are made. The
2015-08-08 18:13:35 +02:00
test stops once as soon as the <N> connections have
either completed or failed. When the number of
connections is 0, the program will run as it normally
does, creating as many connections as it needs in order
to make the \fI\%\-n\fP requests specified. The default value
for this option is 0. The \fI\%\-n\fP option is not required if
the \fI\%\-C\fP option is being used.

2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
.B \-T, \-\-connection\-active\-timeout=<N>
Specifies the maximum time that h2load is willing to
keep a connection open, regardless of the activity on
said connection. <N> must be a positive integer,
specifying the number of seconds to wait. When no
timeout value is set (either active or inactive), h2load
will keep a connection open indefinitely, waiting for a
response.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-N, \-\-connection\-inactivity\-timeout=<N>
Specifies the amount of time that h2load is willing to
wait to see activity on a given connection. <N> must be
a positive integer, specifying the number of seconds to
wait. When no timeout value is set (either active or
inactive), h2load will keep a connection open
indefinitely, waiting for a response.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-timing\-script\-file=<PATH>
Path of a file containing one or more lines separated by
EOLs. Each script line is composed of two tab\-separated
fields. The first field represents the time offset from
the start of execution, expressed as milliseconds with
microsecond resolution. The second field represents the
URI. This option will disable URIs getting from
command\-line. If \(aq\-\(aq is given as <PATH>, script lines
will be read from stdin. Script lines are used in order
for each client. If \fI\%\-n\fP is given, it must be less than
or equal to the number of script lines, larger values are
clamped to the number of script lines. If \fI\%\-n\fP is
not given, the number of requests will default to the
number of script lines. The scheme, host and port defined
in the first URI are used solely. Values contained in
other URIs, if present, are ignored. Definition of a
base URI overrides all scheme, host or port values.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-B, \-\-base\-uri=<URI>
Specify URI from which the scheme, host and port will be
used for all requests. The base URI overrides all
values defined either at the command line or inside
input files.

.SH FLOW CONTROL
.sp
h2load sets large flow control window by default, and effectively
disables flow control to avoid under utilization of server
performance. To set smaller flow control window, use \fI\%\-w\fP and
\fI\%\-W\fP options. For example, use \fB\-w16 \-W16\fP to set default
window size described in HTTP/2 and SPDY protocol specification.
