Greetings curl-users,
I have come to appreciate using curl for most of my HTTP troubleshooting needs.
However there is one use case where I had to fall back to netcat and writing my
requests manually. To validate the HTTP/1.1 keepalive mechanism of a server, it
is useful to send a request, read the response and wait "forever" until the
server closes the connection. I have not found any way to do this with curl.
This is what I resorted to:
$ printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: %s\r\n\r\n' $host | /bin/time -f %E
nc $host $port > /dev/null
Is there a way to do the same with curl? If not, would that be an acceptable
feature request?
Regards,
Adrien Kunysz
