6 varnishtest - Test program for Varnish
7
9 varnishtest [-n iter] [-q] [-v] file [file ...]
10
12 The varnishtest program is a script driven program used to test the
13 varnish HTTP accelerator.
14 The varnishtest program, when started and given one or more script
16 files, can create a number of threads representing backends, some
17 threads representing clients, and a varnishd process.
18 The following options are available:
20 -n iter
22 Run iter number of iterations.
23 -q Be quiet.
25 -v Be verbose.
27 -t Dunno.
29 file File to use as a script
31
33 Example script
34 # Start a varnish instance called "v1"
35 varnish v1 -arg "-b localhost:9080" -start
36 # Create a server thread called "s1"
38 server s1 {
39 # Receive a request
40 rxreq
41 # Send a standard response
42 txresp -hdr "Connection: close" -body "012345\n"
43 }
44 # Start the server thread
46 server s1 -start
47 # Create a client thread called "c1"
49 client c1 {
50 # Send a request
51 txreq -url "/"
52 # Wait for a response
53 rxresp
54 # Insist that it be a success
55 expect resp.status == 200
56 }
57 # Run the client
59 client c1 -run
60 # Wait for the server to die
62 server s1 -wait
63 # (Forcefully) Stop the varnish instance.
65 varnish v1 -stop
66 Example script output
68 The output, running this script looks as follows. The "bargraph" at the
69 beginning of the line is an indication of the level of detail in the
70 line. The second field where the message comes from. The rest of the
71 line is anyones guess :-)

142 If instead of 200 we had expected 201 with the line::
