httpstat

httpstat

This is a light update to Dave Cheney's httpstat utility, which was inspired by https://github.com/reorx/httpstat.

This version uses conniver to collect socket statistics from the operating system.

Installation

httpstat requires Go 1.25 or later.

go install github.com/runZeroInc/conniver/cmd/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.
