echoping appears to compile and run at least on Linux, FreeBSD,
|
|
|
|
|
NetBSD, MacOS X, Solaris (gcc only), HP/UX and Tru64. On Mac OS X,
|
|
|
|
|
you'll probably need a version >= 10.2. Some versions of RedHat 7 ship
|
|
|
|
|
with a completely broken C compiler (echoping displays negative
|
|
|
|
|
times).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You do not have to be root to install it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just type "./configure", then "make", "make test" if you wish (some
|
|
|
|
|
tests depend on local servers and/or Internet access, interpret with
|
|
|
|
|
care) and then (as root if necessary), "make install".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a 'make fulltest' if you want to test more things (which
|
|
|
|
|
may not be available on your platform).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"configure" has some options:
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-http (suppress the HTTP support)
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-smtp (suppress the SMTP support)
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-icp (add the ICP support, to monitor Web proxies like Squid)
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-idn (suppress the IDN support, the handling of Unicode domaine names, see RFC 3490)
|
|
|
|
|
--with-gnutls[=/where/is/gnutls] (add the SSL/TLS support, you will need
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU TLS library <http://www.gnutls.org/>)
|
|
|
|
|
--with-ssl[=/where/is/ssl] (add the SSL/TLS support, you will need
|
|
|
|
|
the OpenSSL library <http://www.openssl.org/>)
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-ttcp (suppress the T/TCP support which is enabled only if
|
|
|
|
|
your system supports it - FreeBSD does. See
|
|
|
|
|
<http://www.kohala.com/start/ttcp.html>)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no option to disable IPv6. echoping now uses the new (RFC
|
|
|
|
|
2133) socket interface, with getnameinfo/getaddrinfo. If your system
|
|
|
|
|
does not support it (Mac OS X <= 10.1), you have no other choices than
|
|
|
|
|
using echoping 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Standard "autoconf/configure" options are supported such as --prefix
|
|
|
|
|
to set the installation root directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If 'echoping -h' replies with a "404" error while the file really exists,
|
|
|
|
|
check first that you use the FQDN of the server on the command line
|
|
|
|
|
(this is a consequence of the HTTP 1.1 protocol, not a bug in echoping
|
|
|
|
|
and this will show only if the HTTP server uses "virtual hosting").
|
|
|

To report a bug, email Stephane Bortzmeyer
|
|
|
|
|
<bortz@users.sourceforge.net> (if you have an account at SourceForge,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use their bug reporting tool, too). If the problem is at the
|
|
|
|
|
"./configure" step, do not forget to send the config.log.

If echoping segfaults, please send me debugging info. To do so:
|
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
|
make debug
|
|
|
|
|
gdb ./echoping
|
|
|
|
|
run the-options-that-exhibits-the-problem
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
print the-variables-displayed
