+Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed
+to let web developers measure the performance of their code under duress,
+to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic
+authentication, cookies, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It allows the user hit a
+web server with a configurable number of concurrent simulated users. Those
+users place the webserver "under siege."
