## What it is
httpstat is a single-file Python CLI that wraps curl and visualizes HTTP request timing breakdowns (DNS, TCP, TLS, server processing, transfer) in a clear terminal output. It also supports structured JSON/JSONL output, SLO threshold checks, and ships an agent skill for AI-assisted HTTP diagnostics.

## Use cases
- measure http request latency breakdown
- debug why an api endpoint is slow
- check dns tcp tls timing for a url
- monitor endpoint latency against slo thresholds
- get curl timing stats as json for pipelines
- diagnose slow website response times from terminal

## When to choose
- you want a zero-dependency single-file script for HTTP timing analysis
- you need machine-readable timing output (JSON/JSONL) for automation or logging
- you want to enforce latency SLOs with exit codes in scripts
- you prefer curl-compatible options in a friendlier visual output

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or long-term metrics dashboards rather than one-off CLI checks
- you are on Windows and prefer the native Go version
- you need full load testing or concurrent request simulation
- you want to replace curl entirely rather than wrap it
