ABOUT AJPing
AJPing is a utility for testing connectivity to an application server running the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP). It sends a 5-byte ping consisting of 0x12, 0x34, 0, 1, 10. It expects the following response in return: ‘A’, ‘B’, 0, 1, 9. When the run ends — either because it reached a configurable number of repetitions or because the user pressed Ctrl-C — it displays statistics similar to those from ping.
AJPing began life as a prototype for AJP support for siege. Because that snippet helps monitor AJP servlet containers and test connectivity, we decided to bundle it as a standalone program.
PLATFORM SUPPORT
Siege was written on GNU/Linux, but it should compile on most POSIX platforms. Your JoeDog officially supports only this software on GNU/Linux, but we're happy to guide other OSes.
