[httperf] zero results in reply rate

[Roman Florea]

Hi Martin,

thanks for your attention.
Yes it is just a header... the code is a slightly edited version of  
sample libevent httpd server  
https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/sample/http-server.c
I have tried a quick patch to add some bytes in reply but it did not help.

Roman.
