Installation

In the bin directory there are precompiled binaries for linux and Darwin (OS X) systems. If you prefer, you can also build it yourself with the following command:

go get -u github.com/kkirsche/urltrace
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kkirsche/urltrace
go install -race

  urltrace [flags]

Flags:
  -f, --full-url      Display the entire URL, not the host portion.
  -t, --timeout int   Sets the timeout in seconds for a requested URL (default 10)
