sdesc: "A tool for measuring web server performance"
ldesc: "Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating
various HTTP workloads and for measuring server performance. The focus of httperf is not on implementing
one particular benchmark but on providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the construction
of both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics of httperf are its
robustness, which includes the ability to generate and sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1
and SSL protocols, and its extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements."
