# HTTP Server Workout (stress-test)

The `WWWRKOUT` (``World Wide Web Workout'') utility exercises an HTTP server, both in the number of simultaneous connections maintained and in the number of back-to-back sequential connection requests and data transfers.

This utility can be used to (stress-) test the HFRD VMS HTTP server (or any other), or to make performance comparisons between it and other servers.
