h2load(1)¶

SYNOPSIS¶

h2load [OPTIONS]... [URI]...

benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY server

<URI>: 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 are used solely.

-n, --requests=<N>¶

Number of requests.

Default: 1

-c, --clients=<N>¶

Number of concurrent clients.

Default: 1

-t, --threads=<N>¶

Number of native threads.

Default: 1

-i, --input-file=<FILE>¶: Path of a file with multiple URIs are seperated by EOLs. This option will disable URIs getting from command-line. If '-' is given as <FILE>, URIs will be read from stdin. 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 are used solely.

-m, --max-concurrent-streams=(auto|<N>)¶

Max concurrent streams to issue per session. If "auto" is given, the number of given URIs is used.

Default: auto

-w, --window-bits=<N>¶: Sets the stream level initial window size to (2**<N>)-1. For SPDY, 2**<N> is used instead.

-W, --connection-window-bits=<N>¶: Sets the connection level initial window size to (2**<N>)-1. For SPDY, if <N> is strictly less than 16, this option is ignored. Otherwise 2**<N> is used for SPDY.

-p, --no-tls-proto=<PROTOID>¶

Specify ALPN identifier of the protocol to be used when accessing http URI without SSL/TLS. Available protocols: spdy/2, spdy/3, spdy/3.1 and h2c-14

Default: h2c-14
