Can anyone please provide me the direct to download the Ab.exe Apache benchmark utility?
Download the Apache MSI-package (https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi -> Binaries for the version you want -> win32 directory -> httpd-...-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi), open this .msi file with 7-Zip, find ab.exe, select it, and copy it to wherever you want.
I've just done that with http://.../httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
, and it works for me.
