HTTP API load tester

(3rd November 2013)

When de­vel­op­ing REST­ful APIs, it is im­por­tant to know how many re­quests per min­ute the end point is able to serve. Be­cause of my in­ter­est in Ng­inx, FastCGI and multi-threaded C+++, I de­cided to de­velop my own in-broser HTTP load tester which sup­ports easy con­fig­ura­tion, any num­ber of par­al­lel load-gen­er­at­ing worker threads and real-time graph­ing based on jQuery pow­ered High­Charts li­brary.
