Continuous cURL
===============
Continually test an endpoint over time, keeping track of http status
codes. Similar to ping -c but with curl.
Motivation
----------
When doing deployments or making critical infrastructure changes I like
to get the quickest feedback possible on any failures. Rather than wait
a minute or so for Pingdom or Pagerduty to go off, I'd like to know
within a second or two if health indicators start failing. So I like to
continually curl the health endpoint for any services I'm touching to
make sure they continue to return 200's, else let me know right away.
Installation
------------
.. code:: shell
$ pip install ccurl
Usage
-----
.. code:: shell
# GET request on www.google.com 10 times
ccurl --url www.google.com --repeat 10
# GET request on www.google.com 100 times with a 2 second sleep between requests
ccurl --url www.google.com --repeat 100 --delay 2
Publishing Updates to PyPi
--------------------------
For the maintainer - to publish an updated version of ssm-search,
increment the version number in version.py and run the following:
.. code:: shell
docker build -f ./Dockerfile.buildenv -t ccurl:build .
docker run --rm -it --entrypoint make ccurl:build publish
At the prompts, enter the username and password to the pypi.org repo.
