That's the point of my test. Is it busy?


I am not aware of a tool which does this as I dont know what exactly you
achieve by doing this.

I'll explain a bit more.

It's a server process normally dealing with comunications to a few
clients (MFC apps on other PC's) and building HVAC controllers. There
is also a simple webserver built in. The webserver is going to be used
a bit more and I want to know what effect it will have on the response
time to the other services it provides (listening on other sockets).

I have a test web client that will constantly hit the port dealing with
http requests. As a guide to how responsive the server is going to be
for it's other tasks, I thought I'd see how quickly it could respond to
a windows message. If the webserver part is sending a large file,
will it block until the file is sent or is there code in there to pass
it out in chunks so it can still do it's other tasks? That's the kind
of thing I'd like to find out. Looking at the code will give me an
idea but I'd rather get some sort of measurement.

If it turns out that the sending a large file via http causes the
server to hang for long periods then I need to look at putting it on
another thread perhaps.

I'd like to do other tests where the webserver is sending out a series
of small files. What effect will this have on the repsonsiveness of
the server? I need a good way of measuring it.

Thanks.

Peter.
