       Polygraph - performance benchmark for web intermediaries

DESCRIPTION

       Web   Polygraph  is  a  performance  testing  tool  for  caching  proxies,  origin  server
       accelerators, L4/7 switches, content filters, and other  Web  intermediaries.  Polygraph's
       features include:

         * high-performance HTTP clients and servers
         * realistic HTTP, FTP, and SSL traffic generation
         * HTTP Basic, NTLM, and Negotiate proxy authentication
         * LDAP-friendly generation of user credentials
         * flexible content simulation
         * ready-to-use standard workloads for benchmarking
         * powerful domain-specific configuration language
         * portable open-source implementation
         * friendly commercial support

       Web  Polygraph  consists  of  many  tools  listed below. See individual man pages for more
