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: Major bugfixes

Changes:
This release fixes problems with basic authentication. It also corrects a problem with the login URL in .siegerc. New features are also included. This release adds support for document caching. Siege now handles ETags and date validation.

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.
