Timings for HTTP requests

Inspired by the request package.

'use strict';
const https = require('https');
const timer = require('@szmarczak/http-timer');

const request = https.get('https://httpbin.org/anything');
const timings = timer(request);

request.on('response', response => {
	response.on('data', () => {}); // Consume the data somehow
	response.on('end', () => {
		console.log(timings);
	});
});

// { start: 1535708511443,
//   socket: 1535708511444,
//   lookup: 1535708511444,
//   connect: 1535708511582,
//   upload: 1535708511887,

• phases
  • wait - timings.socket - timings.start
  • dns - timings.lookup - timings.socket
  • tcp - timings.connect - timings.lookup
  • request - timings.upload - timings.connect
  • firstByte - timings.response - timings.upload
