message_test
Message test is a tester that opens a connection to a remote echo server, sends some messages, and closes the connection. Detailed statistics are returned about the performance of the messages.

Example Command:
message_test:uri=ws://localhost:9000;size=4096;count=1000;timeout=10000;binary=true;sync=true;correctness=exact;token=foo;quantile_count=10;rtts=false;

Detailed parameter documentation for message_test
All parameters are required.

uri=[string];
Example: uri=ws://localhost:9000;
URI of the server to connect to

token=[string];
Example: token=foo;
String value that will be returned in the `token` field of all test related
messages. A separate token should be sent for each unique test.

quantile_count=[integer];
Example: quantile_count=10;
How many histogram quantiles to return in the test results

rtts=[bool];
Example: rtts:true;
Whether or not to return the full list of round trip times for each message
primarily useful for debugging.
size=[interger];
Example: size=4096;
Size of messages to send in bytes. Valid values 0 – max size_t

count=[integer];
Example: count=1000;
Number of test messages to send. Valid values 0-2^64

timeout=[integer];
Example: timeout=10000;
How long to wait (in ms) for a response before failing the test.

binary=[bool];
Example: binary=true;
Whether or not to use binary websocket frames. (true=binary, false=utf8)

sync=[bool];
Example: sync=true;
Syncronize messages. When sync is on wsperf will wait for a response before
sending the next message. When sync is off, messages will be sent as quickly
as possible.

correctness=[string];
Example: correctness=exact;
Example: correctness=length;
How to evaluate the correctness of responses. Exact checks each response for
exact correctness. Length checks only that the response has the correct
length. Length mode is faster but won’t catch invalid implimentations. Length
mode can be used to test situations where you deliberately return incorrect
bytes in order to compare performance (ex: performance with/without masking)
