I'm trying to use ab to test my webserver, but it only supports HTTP/1.1 (reject requests that have HTTP/1.0 in the first line). The -k switch only adds a header with connection: keep-alive.

Is it possible to make ab send HTTP/1.1 request?

Why are you rejecting 1.0 requests? Be careful with that if this is to be publicly accessible; you'll break clients coming through some proxy servers. – Shane Madden Sep 30 '11 at 4:27

You have two choices: modify ab to support HTTP 1.1, or modify your web server to support HTTP 1.0. (You can probably get away with just modify ab send send HTTP/1.1, but that's not ideal.) – David Schwartz Sep 30 '11 at 5:40

how about using Siege, it is as easy to use as ab, but it supports HTTP/1.1:
