Siege zip encoding disable with zlib installed on mac installed via brew

[counterbeing]

I've figured this out, but I think maybe it should be documented somewhere, so consider this a request for documentation.

I'm getting Zip encoding disabled; siege requires zlib support to enable it warning when running siege. To fix this:

brew uninstall siege
brew install zlib
brew install --build-from-source siege

Thanks for the great tool!

[JoeDog]

I need to implement this better. It's compile-time dependent on zlib. Thanks for the heads-up. Regards, J.

No problem, thanks for all of the work on this. Seige is super handy, and now at least the problem is google-able. 👍

It just helped me debug some server side caching issues.

[JoeDog]

I'm glad you like it. J.

unfortunately that fix w/ --build-from-source doesn't work for me:

siege 4.0.2
zlib 1.2.8
macOS 10.12.2

any other suggestions how to fix it?

[JoeDog]

How is it failing?

@JoeDog it shows output like this and no results:

> siege -q -c10 -t10s "http://localhost:3000/"
[alert] Zip encoding disabled; siege requires zlib support to enable it

Lifting the server siege...%

[anotheri]

@JoeDog or without -q it looks like this:

> siege -c10 -t10s http://localhost:3000
[alert] Zip encoding disabled; siege requires zlib support to enable it

and it is hanging, no results as well.

[JoeDog]

This MacOS, right? That hanging with no result seems to occur a lot on MacOS and I don't have a Mac to test it on. (I suspect it has something to do with signalling there. You can get around that problem by scheduling repetitions instead of time, i.e., siege -c10 -r10 http://localhost:3000/ For the build portion, I need to see what happens when you run ./configure (It must not be finding your library; where is zlib.h installed)

[ronpeled]

Just to keep this thread going. Both of these issues are still occurring on MacOS 10.12.3 with latest brew installed. The two issues:

1. Zip encoding disabled... even if I install zlib and run the --build-from-source command.
2. if I run a simple benchmarking command with 60 seconds, it hangs and never finishes.

Thanks!

[norbour]

confused by the same problem

[jonthemiller]

Same issue on macOS 10.12.2. I have the zlib and lzlib packages also installed with Homebrew. here's the portion of the output from brew install --build-from-source -v siege pertaining to zlib:

I had similar issues on macOS 10.12.4, where server never finish it's run. After following reinstall instructions in original post, i noticed some warnings about sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl:15000, I updated settings to 1 sec sudo sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl:1000.

[fukuball]

same as @anotheri

[pwaldo2]

I managed to stop getting the zlib warning with a combination of xcode-select --install and updating the TIME_WAIT to 1 second, but I still get a 400 error on my JSON POST test. Sending the JSON over with Postman works just fine.

[jonasanso]

I followed the instructions and worked nicely for me.
Only detail to add I had an old zlib version and I ran brew upgrade zlib.

Thanks Joe for this great tool.

Note to @pwaldo2 : I am executing a json POST without warnings.

siege -c5 -t1M -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'http://localhost:9200/user/_search POST { "query": { "query_string": {"query": "daniel"}}}'

[vikas027]

Didn't worked for me too on OSX 10.14

[emanserav]

encountering the same problem on OS Mojave , Version 10.14.2 (18C54)

[jasonmccreary]

Was encountering the same issues as @jonthemiller noted. Found a potential solution on another projects thread.

tl;dr Xcode command line tools no longer includes the header files. To install them run:

sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /

After doing so I rebuilt from source with the following output:

checking for zlib support... yes
checking /include/zlib.h usability... no
checking /include/zlib.h presence... no
checking for /include/zlib.h... no
checking /usr/include/zlib.h usability... yes
checking /usr/include/zlib.h presence... yes
checking for /usr/include/zlib.h... yes
checking for ZLIB version... checking for inline... inline

Note: I am not using brew, but my guess is this would resolve the issue there as well as it could resolve the zlib headers from the underlying system files.

[anapsix]

I've had to install zlib via brew install zlib, and edit siege recipe with brew edit siege
updated to following

system "./configure", "--disable-dependency-tracking",¬
                      "--prefix=#{prefix}",¬
                      "--mandir=#{man}",¬
                      "--localstatedir=#{var}",¬
                      "--with-ssl=#{Formula["openssl"].opt_prefix}",¬
                      "--with-zlib=#{Formula["zlib"].opt_prefix}"¬

Works as expected after this modification, and installation with brew install siege --build-from-source

[anapsix]

confirmed Homebrew/homebrew-core#37342 solves zlib related issue

[mistydemeo]

I've opened #152 to improve the configure check so it can find macOS's builtin zlib.
