========================================== ==========================================
h2load is benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1. If built with :doc:`h2load.1` is benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1. If
spdylay (http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/spdylay/) library, it also built with spdylay (http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/spdylay/) library, it
supports SPDY protocol. It supports SSL/TLS and clear text for all also supports SPDY protocol. It supports SSL/TLS and clear text for
supported protocols. all supported protocols.
