I think ab is great tool. It's fast, have lots of features like -C to add Cookie line to the request, -p to do POST request and -H to append any headers you want. But I need -rate option to do perfect performance test. http_load seems to have this, but it's too simple to be enough. A benchmark tool that have cookie support and be able to append header freely, support rate option and POST. httperf seems to have all of these features. That why I was interested in this tool.
