swamp is a utility
that can be used to test and/or benchmark SSL/TLS servers. It is quite configurable and allows
for various different characteristics of the server's behaviour to
be tested.
OPTIONS
-connect address
Configures the address to which
swamp should connect for outgoing connections, using the
syntax defined by the libnal API. For
connecting to TCP/IP addresses, the syntax
is illustrated below (you may use an explicit IP address or a host name);
To connect to an SSL/TLS server on a unix
domain socket, the syntax is;
# swamp -connect UNIX:/path/to/some/socket
-h, -help, -?
Any of these flags will cause swamp
to display a brief usage summary to the console and exit cleanly.
Any other flags are ignored.
BUGS
This man page is utterly
incomplete.

AUTHOR
Swamp was designed and
implemented by Geoff Thorpe. Steve Robb has contributed numerous
tweaks and fixes along the way too. To consolidate resources and
provide an improved framework for ongoing development, the swamp
utility was made a component of the distcache project in 2003
(swamp happens to be the ideal tool for testing distcache's most
common usage - secure web servers).
