curlview

A modern Rust-based HTTP performance analyzer powered by curl. It visualizes timing metrics such as DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, server processing, and content transfer in a human-readable format — similar to httpstat, but written in Rust.

Features

• Visualize HTTP timing breakdowns
• Show IP address and port info
• Optional response body preview and saving
• Colored CLI output
• Fully configurable via environment variables
• Supports all curl options (except a few reserved flags)

Installation

cargo install curlview

Usage

curlview https://example.com [CURL_OPTIONS...]
