URIs are used in this order for each client. All URIs

so on. The scheme, host and port in the subsequent
|
|
URIs, if present, are ignored. Those in the first URI

.B \-d, \-\-data=<PATH>
|
|
Post FILE to server. The request method is changed to

POST. For http/1.1 connection, if \fI\%\-d\fP is used, the
|
|
maximum number of in\-flight pipelined requests is set to

.TP
|
|
.B \-r, \-\-rate=<N>
|
|
Specifies the fixed rate at which connections are
|
|
created. The rate must be a positive integer,
|
|
representing the number of connections to be made per
|
|
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 \fI\%\-t\fP2 and \fI\%\-r\fP4, 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.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0
|

.TP
|
|
.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.

.UNINDENT

.TP
|

.B \-T, \-\-connection\-active\-timeout=<DURATION>
|
|
Specifies the maximum time that h2load is willing to
|
|
keep a connection open, regardless of the activity on
|
|
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
|
|
response.

.UNINDENT

|

.B \-N, \-\-connection\-inactivity\-timeout=<DURATION>
|
|
Specifies the amount of time that h2load is willing to
|
|
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
|
|
indefinitely, waiting for a response.

|

.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 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>|unix:<PATH>)
|
|
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. If argument starts with "unix:", then the
|
|
rest of the argument will be treated as UNIX domain
|
|
socket path. The connection is made through that path
|
|
instead of TCP. In this case, scheme is inferred from
|
|
the first URI appeared in the command line or inside
|
|
input files as usual.

.UNINDENT

.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

is omitted, a second is used as unit.

|
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.
