Lightweight HTTP load testing tool.

# HTTP Benchw

**HTTP Benchw** is a lightweight HTTP load testing tool designed to help evaluate 
the performance of web applications or proxies under various load conditions. 
It supports comprehensive performance testing of both HTTP endpoints and HTTP 
proxy servers, with full support for HTTP proxy credential's authentication. 
The tool enables multiprocess testing for enhanced performance evaluation, 
allows custom host header configuration, and provides test duration as a 
limiting factor for controlled testing scenarios.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/rrguardo/httpbenchw.git
pip install -e .
```
