httping
httping is a "ping"-like tool for HTTP requests. Give it a URL and it will show how long it takes to connect, send a request, and retrieve the reply (only the headers). It can be used for monitoring or statistical purposes (measuring latency).

Recent releases
- 18 Feb 2009 18:05
Changes: Httping was used to put an absolute URI in the GET/HEAD request when not via proxy, which is incorrect. This is now fixed.
- 16 Jul 2008 13:45
Changes: Binding to an adapter did not work and "SIGPIPE" was not handled correctly. Both of these problems were fixed.
- 29 Jun 2008 18:04
Changes: This release fixes a segmentation fault that happened in most cases.
- 28 Jun 2008 21:46
Changes: HTTP status codes are now correctly interpreted (if selected).
- 25 May 2008 12:42
Changes: measured latency can now be split into the time to connect and the time to exchange a request with the HTTP server. Showing the status-code no longer garbles the screen.
