Release Notes for FastReq Version 0.1

Introduction

FastReq 0.1 is the initial release of our lightweight, powerful command-line utility designed for making HTTP requests. This release includes support for GET and POST requests, customizable request headers and body content through JSON files, and a default configuration mechanism.

Features

  • HTTP Request Types: Supports GET and POST requests with easy command-line switches.
  • Custom Headers and Body: Allows users to specify custom headers and body content for POST requests via external JSON files.
  • Configuration File Support: Includes a default configuration file (config.json) for setting commonly used parameters.
  • Response Time Measurement: Offers an option to measure and display the response time for each request.
  • Simplified Command-Line Usage: Designed with simplicity in mind, providing clear and concise command-line options.

How to Run FastReq

After extracting the provided fastreq.zip file, you will find the fastreq binary along with example body.json, header.json, and config.json files. Here's how to run FastReq in a production environment:

  1. Ensure Required Files Are Present: Make sure body.json, header.json, and config.json are in the same directory as the fastreq binary or specify their paths when running commands.

  2. Execute a Request: Run FastReq from the command line by navigating to the directory containing the fastreq binary and executing it with the appropriate flags. Below are some example commands:

    • GET Request:

      ./fastreq -u 'http://example.com' -t g

    • POST Request (using body.json and header.json):

      ./fastreq -u 'http://example.com' -t p -b body.json -H header.json

    • Measure Response Time for a GET request:

      ./fastreq -u 'http://example.com' -t g -m

Release Package Contents

The fastreq.zip file includes the following:

  • fastreq: The executable binary for FastReq.
  • body.json: An example JSON file for HTTP POST body content.
  • header.json: An example JSON file containing custom request headers.
  • config.json: The default configuration file, which can be customized as needed.

System Requirements

FastReq is built to run on Unix-like operating systems, including Linux and macOS. Windows support is pending.
