About:
Siege is a regression test and benchmark utility. It can stress test a single URL with a user defined number of simulated users, or it can read many URLs into memory and stress them simultaneously. The program reports the total number of hits recorded, bytes transferred, response time, concurrency, and return status. Siege supports HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 protocols, GET and POST directives, cookies, transaction logging, and basic authentication. Its features are configurable on a per user basis.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
This version maps the Content-type to the file type you post to a Web server. For example, if you post the file haha.xml, siege adds the Content-type: text/xml. The default type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

This is an excellent application that does something expensive suites don't. ie. It does what the users expects it to do, and does it simply.
