- ez77 15y agoHow come sending concurrent requests, as explained in the article, doesn't flag you as a DoS offender?
- mnutt 15y agoI was surprised that he ran siege against www.google.co.uk without some kind of "don't do this" disclaimer to new users. Running it against other people's websites is pretty poor form.
- idonthack 15y agoIf you run it against a public site, that may be what happens. However it's intended for stressing your own sites in a test environment, in which case you have full control over the config. Setting up your test environment to block your stress tester as a DoS offender would just be silly.
- rorrr 15y agoIf it brings down the site, you might get into trouble. It's totally consider DoS.
- dstein 15y agoDoes siege support benchmarking gzipped HTTP responses? This is something ab doesn't seem to do and it's starting to annoy me.
