httpstat_pro visualizes IP Infomation, WHOIS Infomation and curl(1) statistics in a way of beauty and clarity.

❗It is not compatible with Python 2.

❗It is not a single file Python script, requires rich and python-whois.

❗Not sure if Linux is supported.

• Download the httpstat.py script and requirements.txt

• pip install -r requirements.txt

python httpstat.py httpbin.org/get

notepad.exe $PROFILE

then add the httpstat function to the file that opens up.

❗Don't forget to change the path to where you saved the httpstat.py.

#httpstat
function httpstat {
    python 'C:\Users\sudoo\Documents\httpstat\httpstat.py' $args
}

Because httpstat is a wrapper of cURL, you can pass any cURL supported option after the url (except for -w, -D, -o, -s, -S which are already used by httpstat):

httpstat httpbin.org/post -X POST --data-urlencode "a=b" -v

httpstat has a bunch of environment variables to control its behavior. Here are some usage demos, you can also run httpstat --help to see full explanation.

HTTPSTAT_SHOW_SPEED=true httpstat https://cachefly.cachefly.net/10mb.test

...
speed_download: 3193.3 KiB/s, speed_upload: 0.0 KiB/s

HTTPSTAT_CURL_BIN=/usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.50.3/bin/curl httpstat https://http2.akamai.com/ --http2

HTTP/2 200
...

For convenience, you can export these environments in your .zshrc or .bashrc, example:

export HTTPSTAT_SHOW_IP=false
export HTTPSTAT_SHOW_SPEED=true
export HTTPSTAT_SAVE_BODY=false

Here are some implementations in various languages:

• Go: davecheney/httpstat

  This is the Go alternative of httpstat, it's written in pure Go and relies no external programs. Choose it if you like solid binary executions (actually I do).

• Go (library): tcnksm/go-httpstat

  Other than being a cli tool, this project is used as library to help debugging latency of HTTP requests in Go code, very thoughtful and useful, see more in this article

• Bash: b4b4r07/httpstat

  This is what exactly I want to do at the very beginning, but gave up due to not confident in my bash skill, good job!

• Node: yosuke-furukawa/httpstat

  b4b4r07 mentioned this in his article, could be used as a HTTP client also.

• PHP: talhasch/php-httpstat

  The PHP implementation by @talhasch

Some code blocks in httpstat are copied from other projects of mine, have a look:

• reorx/python-terminal-color Drop-in single file library for printing terminal color.

• reorx/getenv Environment variable definition with type.
