Wbox HTTP testing tool

This little tool which was just released is proving to be really useful for setting up our new server farm. It basically works like a ping for http but you can instruct it to test various aspects of http such as gzip compression and concurrency.

% wbox www.google.it
WBOX www.google.it (64.233.183.99) port 80
0. 200 OK    3774 bytes    407 ms
1. 200 OK    (3767) bytes    273 ms
2. 200 OK    3767 bytes    304 ms
3. 200 OK    3767 bytes    260 ms

    Nice find! I used it to test my Typo/Mongrel setup. First response was a bit slow, but all subsequent responses were fast.
