httpstat

Many thanks to Dave Cheney and to all who contribute!

Why yet another httpstat

• It is a diagnostics tool with full error stacking not just a profiler. The original httpstat exit with the last aimless error message (ex. Client.Timeout exceeded) without profiling in case of something goes wrong.
• It eats as many URL as you give it mixing single args with one from @files in any combination: that's why a silent form is a default now.
• More precise timings
• More reasonable timeouts
• and more to come, see TODO

Installation

httpstat requires Go 1.11 or later.

go get github.com/soxipy/httpstat

Usage

httpstat example.com another.url @file1 url1.com url2.com @file2 ...

Features

• MacOS/Windows/BSD/Linux supported.
• HTTP and HTTPS are supported, for self signed certificates use -k.
• Skip timing the body of a response with -I.
• Follow 30x redirects with -L.
• Change HTTP method with -X METHOD.
• Provide a PUT or POST request body with -d string. To supply the PUT or POST body as a file, use -d @filename.
• Add extra request headers with -H 'Name: value'.
• The response body is usually discarded, you can use -o filename to save it to a file, or -O to save it to the file name suggested by the server.
• HTTP/HTTPS proxies supported via the usual HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY env vars (as well as lower case variants).
• Supply your own client side certificate with -E cert.pem.
• Pass any number of URLs including from @file. URLs in file is a set of words delimited with whitespace characters, tabs and new lines.

TODO

• Make requests in parallel: each URL in its own goroutine
• Custom CA certs
