.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.

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

.B \-w, \-\-window\-bits=<N>
2015-01-15 16:10:16 +01:00

.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
2015-10-19 17:22:03 +02:00
rate period. The maximum number of connections to be
made is given in \fI\%\-c\fP option. This rate will be
distributed among threads as evenly as possible. For
example, with \fB\-t2\fP and \fB\-r4\fP, each thread gets 2
connections per period. 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.

.B \-\-rate\-period=<DURATION>
Specifies the time period between creating connections.
The period must be a positive number, representing the
length of the period in time. This option is ignored if
the rate option is not used. The default value for this
option is 1s.

.B \-T, \-\-connection\-active\-timeout=<DURATION>
2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
Specifies the maximum time that h2load is willing to
keep a connection open, regardless of the activity on
2015-10-19 17:22:03 +02:00
said connection. <DURATION> must be a positive integer,
specifying the amount of time to wait. When no timeout
value is set (either active or inactive), h2load will
keep a connection open indefinitely, waiting for a
2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
response.

Specifies the amount of time that h2load is willing to
2015-10-19 17:22:03 +02:00
wait to see activity on a given connection. <DURATION>
must be a positive integer, specifying the amount of
time to wait. When no timeout value is set (either
active or inactive), h2load will keep a connection open
2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
indefinitely, waiting for a response.

.TP
.B \-\-timing\-script\-file=<PATH>
2015-10-19 17:22:03 +02:00
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 a positive value of
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>

input files.

.TP
2015-09-23 17:17:14 +02:00
.B \-\-npn\-list=<LIST>
Comma delimited list of ALPN protocol identifier sorted
in the order of preference. That means most desirable
protocol comes first. This is used in both ALPN and
NPN. The parameter must be delimited by a single comma
only and any white spaces are treated as a part of
protocol string.

The <DURATION> argument is an integer and an optional unit (e.g., 1s
is 1 second and 500ms is 500 milliseconds). Units are h, m, s or ms
(hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, respectively). If a unit
is omitted, a second is used as unit.

.TP
.B requests
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B total
The number of requests h2load was instructed to make.
.TP
.B started
The number of requests h2load has started.
.TP
.B done
The number of requests completed.
.TP
.B succeeded
The number of requests completed successfully. Only HTTP status
code 2xx or3xx are considered as success.
.TP
.B failed
The number of requests failed, including HTTP level failures
(non\-successful HTTP status code).
.TP
.B errored
The number of requests failed, except for HTTP level failures.
2015-08-14 16:59:47 +02:00
This is the subset of the number reported in \fBfailed\fP and most
likely the network level failures or stream was reset by
RST_STREAM.
2015-08-29 17:24:11 +02:00
.TP
.B timeout
The number of requests whose connection timed out before they were
completed. This is the subset of the number reported in
\fBerrored\fP\&.
2015-02-01 10:19:16 +01:00
.UNINDENT
.TP
.B status codes
The number of status code h2load received.
.TP
.B traffic
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B total
The number of bytes received from the server "on the wire". If
2015-11-09 03:40:35 +01:00
requests were made via TLS, this value is the number of decrypted
2015-02-01 10:19:16 +01:00
bytes.
.TP
.B headers
2015-11-12 15:14:45 +01:00
The number of response header bytes from the server without
decompression. The \fBspace savings\fP shows efficiency of header
compression. Let \fBdecompressed(headers)\fP to the number of bytes
used for header fields after decompression. The \fBspace savings\fP
is calculated by (1 \- \fBheaders\fP / \fBdecompressed(headers)\fP) *
100. For HTTP/1.1, this is usually 0.00%, since it does not have
header compression. For HTTP/2 and SPDY, it shows some insightful
numbers.

.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.
