From 4cbec67334d14d01f35818f7ac144de62ffebe4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Sun, 12 May 2019 21:32:24 +0000 Subject: test/benchmark/ddstream: demo for slowly reading clients This is intended to demonstrate how badly we suck at dealing with slow clients. It can help users evaluate alternative fully-buffering reverse proxies, because nginx should not be the only option.
