Usage of httperf

Question

I had installed httperf on Fedora 21/Ubuntu 12.04 and tried to make a simple test with following command:

httperf --server www.google.com 

It always gives me the following result:

httperf --client=0/1 --server=www.google.com --port=80 --uri=/ --send-buffer=4096 --recv-buffer=16384 --num-conns=1 --num-calls=1
httperf: can't open www.google.com 

Do you have any ideas for this issue? Thanks!

PS

1. The Internet connection is good.
2. I had tried other sites and got the same result.

Answer 1

Problem occures when you installing tool from sources. Instead use version from repository

apt-get install httperf

and it's will be work fine.
