HTTP Server Load Test utility written in C++
hurl is an http server load tester similar to ab/siege/weighttp/wrk with support for tls, http2, multithreading, parallelism, url ranges. hurl is primarily useful for benchmarking http server applications.
>hurl "https://google.com" --calls=100 -p100 -f1000
Running 1 threads 100 parallel connections per thread with 100 requests per connection

Note: If running long jobs consider enabling tcp_tw_reuse -eg:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse
