fortio v1.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-08-13 // over 5 years ago

  • A couple of cool new features in fortio 1.1:

    👌 Support for Unix Domain Sockets for both the server and the client (#276)
    eg.
    fortio server -http-port /tmp/fortio/http-uds1
    and
    fortio load -unix-socket /tmp/fortio/http-uds1 http://localhost/echo

    🚀 Support for random payload generation or file based POST content for both gRPC and http (#270, #273 / #280 - Thanks @olimpias for the contributions) - Note there is a bug (#291) in header generation in this release which is fixed in 1.2.0

    • You can switch http client calls from GET to POST using -content-type
    • Or using -payload-file to specify the the content of the POST body
    • Or using -payload-size to generate a random binary body of that size
    • Or using -payload to send a small string as the body

    🛠 And host of fixes and minor improvements (bug fix around custom headers and user authentication header, better fortio help output, etc...)
