httpstat - Curl Statistics Made Simple - Hacking Land

httpstat visualizes curl(1) statistics in a way of beauty and clarity.

It is a single file Python script that has no dependency and is compatible with Python 3.

Installation
There are three ways to get httpstat :

Download the script directly: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reorx/httpstat/master/httpstat.py
Through pip: pip install httpstat
Through homebrew (macOS only): brew install httpstat

Usage
Simply:

python httpstat.py httpbin.org/get

If installed through pip or brew, you can use httpstat as a command:

httpstat httpbin.org/get

cURL Options
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_SHOW_BODY
HTTPSTAT_SHOW_IP
HTTPSTAT_SHOW_SPEED
HTTPSTAT_SAVE_BODY
