v1.0.0 Changes
October 01, 2016httpstat 1.0.0
This project started a week ago as an attempt to replicate the visual presentation of @reorx's httpstat.py tool.
๐ง From my initial efforts a swam of contributors descended on this project and took it from a proof of concept to a capable tool that is usable across Windows, Linux, and Mac, without any external dependencies.
That's all folks!
๐ฆ The goal of this project was not to replicate
curl(1)
, but to replicate the visual presentation ofhttpstat.py
. Along the way we've picked up a lot of useful features to round out the general idea of "talk to a server and time the round trip", incorporating thehttptrace
package, introduced in Go 1.7.๐ With the 1.0.0 release, I'm confident that
httpstat
is a faithful imitation of @reorx's tool, and so I'm declaring this project done. I'll still be accepting bug reports and will keep this tool up to date with future releases of Go, but no new feature requests will be accepted.This project is open sourced under a permissive licence, I encourage anyone who wants to hack on it to punch that fork button and get coding. Enjoy!
