SSL tests are modified versions of the basic, CGI, and ISAPI WCAT tests. During SSL tests, clients request the same files at the same rates as in the standard versions of the tests but use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protocol. SSL tests are provided to help you measure the effect of SSL encryption on server performance.
SSL versions of the WCAT tests are named Ssl.testname, where testname represents the name of the standard version of the test. For example, the SSL version of the Cgi25 test is called Ssl.cgi25. SSL versions are provided for all WCAT tests except for 1K, 1ktest01.50m, and 1ktest01.200m.
