httping 測試網站的 Latency 和 Throughput

想查看某個 IP 是否活著，或者 ICMP 的回應時間，可以使用 ping，但是 Web Server 也想要 ping 可以怎麼做呢？

httping 測試網站的 Latency 和 Throughput

Web server 走 HTTP，有 HEAD 指令可以做簡單的回應，httping 也就用此方法來達成。

• httping - measure the latency and throughput of a webserver

Debian / Ubuntu Linux 安裝

• apt-get install httping

httping 使用方式

• $ httping -g https://blog.longwin.com.tw -l -c 5 -Y
  • -g：測試網址
  • -l：使用 SSL
  • -c：ping 的次數
  • -Y：輸出要有顏色
• httping blog.longwin.com.tw -S -Y -Z -s # 沒有 https 會遇到 301 redirect
• httping blog.longwin.com.tw -l -S -Y -Z -s

會秀出如下：

httping 到底做什麼事情呢？access.log 可以看到詳細資訊
