This test case tests the ability of HTTPing to measure the latency of a web server

Setup

  1. A working web servers are required with the following configurations.
    1. WEBSERVER: A web server listening on port 80.
    2. WEBSERVER_ALTPORT: A web server listening on port 8000.
    3. WEBSERVER_HTTPS: A web server with HTTPS support.
    4. WEBSERVER_BASIC_AUTH: A web server with basic HTTP authentication.
  2. Ensure the httping package is installed.

How to test

  1. Run HTTPing against WEBSERVER : httping -g http://WEBSERVER/
  2. Run HTTPing against WEBSERVER_ALTPORT: httping -h WEBSERVER_ALTPORT -p 8000
  3. Run HTTPing against WEBSERVER_HTTPS: httping -l -g https://WEBSERVER_HTTPS/
  4. Run HTTPing against WEBSERVER_BASIC_AUTH: httping -g http://WEBSERVER_BASIC_AUTH/ -A -U USERNAME -P PASSWORD

Expected Results

  1. In all cases, you should see HTTPing results which looks like ping output.
