WBox - HTTP Testing Tool

WBox is a simple HTTP Testing Tool written in ANSI C which works on a POSIX system like Linux. Windows systems are not supported and compiles on a MacOS X system. It is a 20 Kb zip file which has code written in ANSI C. We can use it to perform many different tasks which include

Benchmarking how much time it takes to generate content for your web application.
Web server and web application stressing.
Testing virtual domains configuration without the need to alter your local resolver.
Check if your redirects are working correctly emitting the right HTTP code.
Test if the HTTP compression is working and if it is actually serving pages faster.
Use it as a configuration-less HTTP server to share files! (see the server mode documentation at the end of the Wbox tutorial in this page, but it's as simple as % wbox servermode webroot /tmp)
