Usage

Paths

• /data?size=n[&unit=u]: creates a response with a size n. The unit of measure, if specified, accepts the following values: KB, MB, GB, TB (optional, default: bytes).
• /echo: webSocket echo.
• /bench: always return the same response (1).
• /[?wait=d]: returns the whoami information (request and network information). The optional wait query parameter can be provided to tell the server to wait before sending the response. The duration is expected in Go's time.Duration format (e.g. /?wait=100ms to wait 100 milliseconds).
• /api: returns the whoami information as JSON.
• /health: heath check
  • GET, HEAD, ...: returns a response with the status code defined by the POST
  • POST: changes the status code of the GET (HEAD, ...) response.

Flags

• key: give me a key.
• port: give me a port number. (default: 80)
