POLYGRAPH(7)

NAME
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
