I have been working with apache bench for a while now and until now it worked just fine. However, today I started getting several Non-2xx responses:. In order to investigate further, I tried to run a test with a simple website, so I run:
ab -n 100 -c 10 http://www.yahoo.com/
And this is what I got:

As the output shows, even with an external url, I get 100% Non-2xx responses. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thank you!
It might be because when accessing Yahoo.com they are redirecting you, and therefore you'll get 30X responses and not 20X directly.
