Siege is an http load testing and benchmarking utility

Siege is an http load testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols. It lets its user hit a server with a configurable number of simulated clients. Those clients place the server “under siege.”

Slow day at the ranch, trying to get over this cold or whatever the current dread disease is. Also a chance to try out some stuff on the old blog.
This is a status update, so I don’t need a title and it gets fed to various other places like Twitter and Facebook.
