Can I redirect the output from perfdump to a flat file?
Yes: perfdump is already formatted as text, so it’s easy to view it without a browser. For example, the following will dump the perfdump output of a server listening on port 80 to the screen then wait for you to press Enter: (echo GET /.perf; cat -) | telnet -c localhost 80 For a cleaner interface, you can grab a copy of the wget Open Source command line HTTP client.
