Basic HTTP Server hangs when running Apache Bench on it
Paul Barry
is just the example from the web site without the 2 second delay.
When I run the server and then run apache bench on it, it hangs around
16000 requests:
$ ab -c 5 -n 20000 http://127.0.0.1:8080/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>

Benchmarking 127.0.0.1 (be patient)
Completed 2000 requests
Completed 4000 requests
Completed 6000 requests
Completed 8000 requests
Completed 10000 requests
Completed 12000 requests
Completed 14000 requests
Completed 16000 requests
apr_poll: The timeout specified has expired (70007)
Total of 16362 requests completed
This happens pretty consistently around 16000, but not the exact same
number every time. It eventually times out and then the server it
working again. Omitting the -c option from apache bench doesn't
change things. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

I'm not. What operating system?

Here's the modified script: http://gist.github.com/285041
This leads me to think it's an issue with ab on mac os x, however, I couldn't find any such information confirming this.

least that long.
It's definitely only present on OS X, afaict.
For what it's worth, the problem doesn't occur if you're using
keepalives. It seems to be related to opening the actual TCP tunnel.
If you're just benchmarking your server for performance or whatever,
you can probably throw -k on there when testing on the Mac, and get
reasonable relative results.
Just don't use a Mac for a real web server. They're much more humane
dev envs, imo, but you need a proper *nix for serving real traffic.
