httpstat is a Go CLI tool that visualizes HTTP request timing breakdowns (DNS, connection, TLS, server processing) with colored output, similar to curl -v. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, redirects, custom methods, headers, request bodies, and proxies.

Use cases

• measure http request latency breakdown from the command line
• debug slow tls handshake times
• see dns connect and ttfb timing for a url
• trace http redirects with timing details
• diagnose why a website loads slowly
• test http endpoints with custom headers and methods

When to choose

• you want a quick colored timing breakdown of an http request without parsing curl output
• you need a lightweight single-binary diagnostic tool on linux, bsd, or windows
• you want curl-like flags (-X, -H, -d, -L) for timing analysis

When to avoid

• you need a maintained successor - the author points to reorx/httpstat as the actively developed fork
• you need full curl feature coverage like cookies, auth schemes, or http/2/3 tuning
• you need graphical dashboards or continuous monitoring rather than one-off diagnostics
