## Requirements
2016-10-23 17:49:52 +00:00
- A reasonably fast web server
2016-03-04 11:48:09 +00:00
- Some way to generate garbage data using either the included PHP script, a [big file of random data](http://downloads.adolfintel.com/geth.php?r=speedtest-bigfile), or a symlink to /dev/urandom
- Your server must not compress the data it sends
- Your server must accept large POST requests (up to 10 Megabytes), otherwise the upload test will fail
- Client side, there must not be any type of buffering (such as a proxy), or you may get incorrect results
## How to use
2016-10-23 17:49:52 +00:00
See the examples, it's really simple.
