# The benchmarks/siege port

## siege-2.70p1 – multi-threaded HTTP benchmark and regression tester

## Description

    Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It
    was designed to let web developers measure the performance of their
    code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the
    internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP and
    HTTPS protocols. It allows the user hit a web server with a
    configurable number of concurrent simulated users. Those users place
    the webserver "under siege."
