The aim of this web server is to win the PONG benchmark at all costs.

The PONG benchmark is generally run as follows:

$ httperf --hog -v --server 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --uri / --num-conns=1000 --num-calls=1000 --burst-length=20 --rate=1000

Here is a sample session:

httperf --verbose --hog --client=0/1 --server=127.0.0.1 --port=8000 --uri=/ --rate=1000 --send-buffer=4096 --recv-buffer=16384 --num-conns=1000 --num-calls=1000 --burst-length=20
httperf: warning: open file limit > FD_SETSIZE; limiting max. # of open files to FD_SETSIZE
