-c  Number of requests to run concurrently. Total number of requests cannot
  be smaller than the concurency level.
-q  Rate limit, in seconds (QPS).
-d  Duration of the stress test, e.g. 2s, 2m, 2h
-t  Timeout in ms.
-o  Output type. If none provided, a summary is printed.
  "csv" is the only supported alternative. Dumps the response
  metrics in comma-seperated values format.
-m  HTTP method, one of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS.

  for example, -H "Accept: text/html" -H "Content-Type: application/xml", 
  but "Host: ***", replace that with -host.
-http  Support http1, http2, http3, ws, wss, default http1.
-body  Request body, default empty.
-a  Basic authentication, username:password.
-x  HTTP Proxy address as host:port.
-disable-compression  Disable compression.
-disable-keepalive    Disable keep-alive, prevents re-use of TCP connections between different HTTP requests.
-cpus     Number of used cpu cores. (default for current machine is %d cores).
-url 		Request single url.
-verbose 	Print detail logs, default 2(0:TRACE, 1:DEBUG, 2:INFO ~ ERROR).
-url-file 	Read url list from file and random stress test.
-body-file  Request body from file.
-listen 	Listen IP:PORT for distributed stress test and worker mechine (default empty). e.g. "127.0.0.1:12710".
-dashboard 	Listen dashboard IP:PORT and operate stress params on browser.
-W  Running distributed stress test worker mechine list.
      for example, -W "127.0.0.1:12710" -W "127.0.0.1:12711". 
-example 	Print some stress test examples (default false).

Example stress test for url(print detail info "-verbose 1"):

./http_bench -n 1000 -c 10 -m GET -url "http://127.0.0.1/test1"
./http_bench -n 1000 -c 10 -m GET "http://127.0.0.1/test1"

Example stress test for file(print detail info "-verbose 1"):

./http_bench -n 1000 -c 10 -m GET "http://127.0.0.1/test1" -url-file urls.txt
./http_bench -d 10s -c 10 -m POST -body "{}" -url-file urls.txt

Example stress test for http/2:

./http_bench -d 10s -c 10 -http http2 -m POST "http://127.0.0.1/test1" -body "{}"

Example stress test for http/3:

./http_bench -d 10s -c 10 -http http3 -m POST "http://127.0.0.1/test1" -body "{}"

Example stress test for ws/wss:

./http_bench -d 10s -c 10 -http ws "ws://127.0.0.1" -body "{}"

Example distributed stress test(print detail info "-verbose 1"):

(1) First step:
./http_bench -listen "127.0.0.1:12710" -verbose 1
./http_bench -listen "127.0.0.1:12711" -verbose 1

(2) Second step:
./http_bench -c 1 -d 10s "http://127.0.0.1:18090/test1" -body "{}" -W "127.0.0.1:12710" -W "127.0.0.1:12711" -verbose 1

Example stress test on browser:

(1) First step:
./http_bench -dashboard "127.0.0.1:12345" -verbose 1

(2) Second step:
Open url(http://127.0.0.1:12345) on browser
