Package: wbox (5-4)

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)
