To be precise, the above output shows that all HTTP requests end with
some kind of an error, I think. You got 27 errors in 3 seconds and no
"positive" responses. There are 1000 TCP sockets open, so polyclt is
trying to generate some traffic.

If possible, I would make a simple HTTP-only workload work first
(you may be able to start with simple.pg). Once basic HTTP stuff
is working, enable SSL.

Running without a proxy is also a good approach to make sure that
the bench setup is working properly.

You can also use "--dump hdrs" to see what requests Polygraph is
sending. Proxy logs may contain more clues: Does the proxy receive
any traffic? Why does it not forward it to Polygraph servers?

Use "--verb_lvl 10" command line option to see more warnings and
errors.
