amy / httpstat

It's like curl -v with colours.

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

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

Usage

$ httpstat https://example.com/

We don't need no stinking curl

httpstat.py is a wrapper around curl(1), which is all fine and good, but what if you don't have curl(1) or python(1) installed?

TODO

The big ticket features which are missing at this point are:

• support for https; this involves negotating the handshake before sending the request, adjusting the various timing points, and using the alternative template. done, thanks @freeformz
• detect when httpstat is being piped to a file or other not tty device and disable coloured output. done, thanks @amy
• support for more CURL flags, like -H HEADER and -X METHOD.
• spool response.Body to a temporary file.
• Sort response headers intelligently, #18.
• Support curl's -L flag to follow redirects, #23.
• Handle urls without a scheme, #26
