httpstat

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

But seriously, https://github.com/reorx/httpstat is the new hotness, and this is a shameless rip off.

Installation

httpstat requires Go 1.20 or later.

$ go install github.com/davecheney/httpstat@latest

Usage

$ httpstat https://example.com/

Features

• 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.

New Feature: JSON Output

I've made some modifications to this project to allow output in JSON format. You can use the -F flag to get results in JSON format. Here's an example command and output:

Command:

httpstat -F https://example.com

Output:

{
 "dns_lookup": 0,
 "tcp_connection": 0,
 "tls_handshake": 764,
 "server_processing": 260,
 "content_transfer": 0,
 "namelookup": "0",
 "connect": "0",
 "pretransfer": "767",
 "starttransfer": "1028",
 "total": "1029",
 "connection_protocol": "TLSv1.3",
 "connection_time": "764"
}

This result can now be directly used for data storage, analysis or other purposes.
