Overview

This is an interactive CLI tool that uses the net/http package to make an HTTP GET request to a specific URL and checks the latency step by step. It also displays brief information on request and response headers.

It can be useful for testing purposes before transferring to a CNAME record of a domain that uses a CDN domain.

gostat request https://ghdwlsgur.github.io/ -d

Why

The motivation for creating this tool was that while using the curl command to inspect HTTP GET responses, I found that the options I used became increasingly varied, and the command itself became longer. Personally, I had customized the command with the options I frequently used along with request headers in my zshrc script. However, instead of using this method, I wanted to create a tool with fixed options and request header values that I typically use. I wanted to create a tool that could be useful for others who may have similar concerns or team members who could benefit from it.

Compare

/etc/hosts

1.1.1.1 example.com

gostat

gostat request https://example.com/test.txt -t 1.1.1.1

The gostat command does not make a request to the host IP of example.com, but rather maps it to 1.1.1.1 in the /etc/hosts file and then queries DNS for the host IP. This allows you to check the response code and response headers for the HTTP GET method request.

curl

curl -k -I https://185.199.108.153/assets/js/runtime\~main.873fd742.js -H "Host: ghdwlsgur.github.io" -H "Range: bytes=0-1"

gostat

gostat request https://ghdwlsgur.github.io/assets/js/runtime\~main.873fd742.js -t 185.199.108.153

curl

curl -vo /dev/null -H 'Range:bytes=0-1' --resolve 'naver.com:443:223.130.195.95' 'https://www.naver.com/include/themecast/targetAndPanels.json'

gostat

gostat request https://www.naver.com/include/themecast/targetAndPanels.json -t 223.130.195.95

If you primarily use the HTTP GET method, gostat may be more intuitive and convenient to use than the curl command, which behaves in the same way.
