Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server performance. The focus of httperf is not on implementing one particular benchmark but on providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the construction of both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics of httperf are its robustness, which includes the ability to generate and sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1 and SSL protocols, and its extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements.

This document describes the usage of the FunkLoad tool. This tool enables to do functional and load testing of web application.

FriendFeed's web server is a relatively simple, non-blocking web server written in Python. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the non-blocking web server and tools.

For maximum compatibility, here’s what your video workflow will look like:

1. Make one version that uses Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container.
2. Make another version that uses WebM (VP8 + Vorbis).
3. Make another version that uses H.264 baseline video and AAC “low complexity” audio in an MP4 container.
4. Link to all three video files from a single <video> element, and fall back to a Flash-based video player.

a very simple web-based API to detect and extract the main content from a web page, removing all of the clutter, such as headers, footers, advertising and so on. I guess it’s somewhat similar to Readability or Instapaper, but more suitable to building into your own applications. Watch this space.

The Yahoo! Query Language lets you query, filter, and join data across any web data source or service on the web. Using our YQL web service, apps run faster with fewer lines of code and a smaller network footprint. YQL uses a SQL-like language because it is a familiar and intuitive method for developers to access data. YQL treats the entire web as a source of table data, enabling developers to select * from Internet.
