Topic: Apache benchmarks by h2load on Windows.

[o6asan]

I built h2load for Windows on Cygwin and took benchmarks. I had very interesting results.

I've enabled HTTP/2 on my production web server since October 19. After that, I compared HTTPS with HTTP/2 with HTTPS without HTTP/2 about their speed by using web browsers F12. But, I could not see any merits of HTTP/2 about my server which has small visitors.

According to the test by h2load, the server which supports HTTP/2 seems to be good at dealing with concurrent streams.

I think small servers like mine have not much merits by this feature, but some servers will take big advantage by this.

Which version of mod_http2 you running ?

I am also interested how it goes with the latest mod_http2 1.0.5, see https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6842

Thanks for the guide.

The files #2.txt are not found:

The requested URL /wp-content/uploads/HTTP2/HTTPS_without_HTTP_2_ was not found on this server.

Looks like the # is the issue.

I downloaded the latest version (mod_http2 1.0.8) and took benchmarks. See them.

They seem to be slightly different from previous test results.

[Annot.] The test has different condition as before because my development server's OS moved from Windows10 TH1 to Windows10 TH2 automatically on November 27.

Thanks.
