问题
I have a web service that receives data in JSON format, processes the data, and then returns the result to the requester.
I want to measure the request, response, and total time using cURL.
My example request looks like:
curl -X POST -d @file server:port
and I currently measure this using the time command in Linux:
time curl -X POST -d @file server:port
The time command only measures total time, though - which isn't quite what I am looking for.
Is there any way to measure request and response times using cURL?
回答1:
From this brilliant blog post... https://blog.josephscott.org/2011/10/14/timing-details-with-curl/
cURL supports formatted output for the details of the request (see the cURL manpage for details, under -w, –write-out <format>). For our purposes we’ll focus just on the timing details that are provided.
Create a new file, curl-format.txt, and paste in:
time_namelookup: %{time_namelookup}\n time_connect: %{time_connect}\n time_appconnect: %{time_appconnect}\n time_pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}\n time_redirect: %{time_redirect}\n time_starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n ----------\n time_total: %{time_total}\nMake a request:
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s "http://wordpress.com/"Or on Windows, it's...
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o NUL -s "http://wordpress.com/"
What this does:
-w "@curl-format.txt" tells cURL to use our format file-o /dev/null redirects the output of the request to /dev/null-s
tells cURL not to show a progress meter"http://wordpress.com/" is
the URL we are requesting. Use quotes particularly if your URL has "&" query string parameters
And here is what you get back:
time_namelookup: 0.001
time_connect: 0.037
time_appconnect: 0.000
time_pretransfer: 0.037
time_redirect: 0.000
time_starttransfer: 0.092
----------
time_total: 0.164
Make a Windows shortcut (aka BAT file)
Put this command in CURLTIME.BAT (in the same folder as curl.exe)
curl -w "@%~dp0curl-format.txt" -o NUL -s %*
Then you can simply call...
curltime wordpress.org

Here is the answer:
curl -X POST -d @file server:port -w %{time_connect}:%{time_starttransfer}:%{time_total}
All of the variables used with -w can be found in man curl.
回答3:
Option 1. To measure total time:
curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Total: %{time_total}s\n' https://www.google.com
Sample output:
Option 2. To get time to establish connection, TTFB: time to first byte and total time:
curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Establish Connection: %{time_connect}s\nTTFB: %{time_starttransfer}s\nTotal: %{time_total}s\n' https://www.google.com
Sample output:
Ref: Get response time with curl
回答4:
A shortcut you can add to your .bashrc etc, based on other answers here:
function perf {
curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{time_connect} + %{time_starttransfer} = %{time_total}\n" "$1"
}
Usage:
> perf stackoverflow.com
0.521 + 0.686 = 1.290
回答5:
The following is inspired by Simon's answer. It's self-contained (doesn't require a separate format file), which makes it great for inclusion into .bashrc.
curl_time() {
curl -so /dev/null -w "\
namelookup: %{time_namelookup}s\n\
connect: %{time_connect}s\n\
appconnect: %{time_appconnect}s\n\
pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}s\n\
redirect: %{time_redirect}s\n\
starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}s\n\
-------------------------\n\
total: %{time_total}s\n" "$@"
}
Futhermore, it should work with all arguments that curl normally takes, since the "$@" just passes them through. For example, you can do:
curl_time -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key": "val"}' https://postman-echo.com/post
Output:
namelookup: 0,125000s
connect: 0,250000s
appconnect: 0,609000s
pretransfer: 0,609000s
redirect: 0,000000s
starttransfer: 0,719000s
-------------------------
total: 0,719000s

If you want to analyze or summarize the latency you can try apache bench:
ab -n [number of samples] [url]
For example:
ab -n 100 http://www.google.com/
It will show:

Another way is configuring ~/.curlrc like this
-w "\n\n==== cURL measurements stats ====\ntotal: %{time_total} seconds \nsize: %{size_download} bytes \ndnslookup: %{time_namelookup} seconds \nconnect: %{time_connect} seconds \nappconnect: %{time_appconnect} seconds \nredirect: %{time_redirect} seconds \npretransfer: %{time_pretransfer} seconds \nstarttransfer: %{time_starttransfer} seconds \ndownloadspeed: %{speed_download} byte/sec \nuploadspeed: %{speed_upload} byte/sec \n\n"
So the output of curl is
❯❯ curl -I https://google.com

Another option that is perhaps the simplest one in terms of the command line is adding the built-in --trace-time option:
curl -X POST -d @file server:port --trace-time
Even though it technically does not output the timings of the various steps as requested by the OP, it does display the timestamps for all steps of the request as shown below. Using this, you can (fairly easily) calculate how long each step has taken.

This is a modified version of Simons answer which makes the multi-lined output a single line. It also introduces the current timestamp so it's easier to follow each line of output.
