Running 'Siege' http/https regression testing and benchmarking utility fails/crashes

[carlosroman]

When running Siege, random requests will fail with the following error:

[error] unable to set close control sock.c:127: Invalid argument

If I use basic auth using a siege config file ~/.siegerc, with the contents:

login = login = username:password

Then the application fails straight away and exits.

The command being run is:

$ siege -g <some test url> -c10 -d1 -t60s

Running same command on a *nix system will run the load test for 60s seconds with each request hitting the URL specified.

Windows build number: Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.82)

To install Siege just run:

$ sudo apt-get install -y siege

Strace of the failing command:

This looks like the culprit, maybe?

Same as 1006 and 486. POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is not supported.

[benhillis]

Closing as a duplicate of #486 and #1006.

[mrodal]

Hi, #1006 is marked as fixed in 1809, but I have 1809 and still get a lot of
[error] unable to set close control sock.c:141: Invalid argument
and
[error] HTTPS requires libssl: Unable to reach ajax.googleapis.com with this protocol: Transport endpoint is already connected

Is there something else going on?
