Originally httpstat was is a python script, that visualizes curl statistics in a beauty way.

Source code: https://github.com/reorx/httpstat

At present, last commit was made over half year ago. It’s time to look for some replacement.

Dave Cheney’s httpstat has been written using Go and source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/davecheney/httpstat

Installation

That’s easy if you already have go environment ready (emerge go or similar should do the job):

# go get -u github.com/davecheney/httpstat

Binary should be ready at your command at $GOPATH/src/github.com/davecheney/httpstat/httpstat.

Usage

Straightforward. httpstat [options] url.

Useful options are:
-H value - add header value
-X method - chose HTTP method (default is GET, obviously)
-k - do not care about SSL insecure connections (setting up Let’s Encrypt was to complicated)

Proxy settings are done via HTTP(S)_PROXY, NO_PROXY environment variables.

Happy using!
