Previously we do not specify the number of requests each client has to
issue. The each client corresponds to 1 TCP connection. If
connection was not accepted by server or not TLS handshake is not
done, we effectively don't use that connection and the requests
supposed to be issued for those connections are done via other
established connections. If this occurs, servers which do not accept
all connections may gain good benchmark results since they don't have
to pay extra cost to handle all connections (e.g., SSL/TLS handshake).
This change explicitly set the number of requests each client has to
issue so that servers cannot *cheat*.
Previously h2load supports SPDY only for https URI. This is because
SPDY has no mechanism to negotiate its protocol version without NPN.
With this change, user can specify the exact protocol version to use
when http URI (without SSL/TLS) is used.
Supplying multiple URIs can simulate more real life situation on
server side. For example, we can supply URIs of html, css and js and
benchmark the server. The -m option is updated so that it defaults to
the number of supplied URIs.
