HTTPerf.js

Build Status   Dependancy Status   NPM Version

Simple Node.js interface for httperf. This is a node port of HTTPerf.rb and works pretty much the same way.

What hasn't been ported or is different from the ruby version:

  • parse is true by default.
  • tee isn't currently supported.
  • httperf must be in your PATH

Node.js Version

Tested on the following node versions (via Travis-ci.org:

  • 0.10
  • 0.11

Installation

$ npm install httperfjs

Basic usage:

:::js
var HTTPerf = require('httperfjs');

var httperf = new HTTPerf({
    "server": "mervine.net",
    "verbose": true,
    "hog": true,
    "uri": "/about",
    "num-conns": 100}
);

httperf.run(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
    console.log(result.connection_time_avg);
});
// => { object with httperf values }
// => '123.4'

httperf.parse = false;
var child = httperf.run(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});
// => "string with httperf stdout"

// httperf dumps data on SIGINT (crtl-c), HTTPerf's run
// supports this as well, with the following addition
// to your scripts
process.on('SIGINT', function() {
    child.send('SIGINT');
});

NodeUnit Benchmark Example

:::js
// file: ./test/benchmark.js
var HTTPerf = require('httperfjs');
var httperf = new HTTPerf({
    server:      "mervine.net",
    uri:         "/",
    "num-conns": 9
});

var run;

module.exports = {
    tearDown: function (callback) {
        run = undefined;
        callback();
    },

    'homepage should be quick': function (test) {
        test.expect(1);
        httperf.run( function (run) {
            test.ok(run.connection_time_median < 200,
                "homepage was too slow: got " + run.connection_time_median
                   + " but expected: < 200");
            test.done();
        });
    },

    'archive should be quick': function (test) {
        test.expect(1);
        httperf.run( function (run) {
            test.ok(run.connection_time_median < 200,
                "archive was too slow: got " + run.connection_time_avg
                    + " but expected: < 200");
            test.done();
        });
    }
};
// $ ./node_modules/.bin/nodeunit ./test/benchmark.js
