ab is erroring out with apr_socket_recv: Connection refused (61)

Question

I am testing eventlet out, and I am getting this error:

~>ab -n 10 -c 1 http://localhost:8090/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>         


        

Answer 1

I found using 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost worked:

ab -n 10 -c 1 http://127.0.0.1:8090/

Update: May have been a bug in ab: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nodejs/TZU5H7MdoII/yivu0d4LMaAJ
