Description: HTTP testing tool and configuration-less HTTP server
Wbox aims to help you having fun while testing HTTP related stuff.
You can use it to perform many tasks, including the following.
* Benchmarking how much time it takes to generate content
for your web application.
* Web server and web application stressing.
* Testing virtual domains configuration without the need to alter
your local resolver.
* Check if your redirects are working correctly emitting
the right HTTP code.
* Test if the HTTP compression is working and if it is actually
serving pages faster.
* Use it as a configuration-less HTTP server to share files!
(it's as simple as % wbox servermode webroot /tmp)
