httping: Ping the specified URL.
$ httping -g ${url}
try on your machine

The command "httping -g ${url}" is used to perform an HTTP GET request to the specified URL.

Here's how the command can be broken down:

  • "httping" is the name of the command or executable that is being run.
  • "-g" is an option or flag provided to the httping command. In this case, the "-g" flag specifies that the HTTP method used should be GET.
  • "${url}" is a placeholder for the actual URL to which the GET request will be sent. The URL should be provided as a value for the variable "url" when executing the command.

In summary, by running this command with a specific URL, you can send an HTTP GET request to that URL and receive a response. The httping command is a tool commonly used to measure the latency (response time) of an HTTP server.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
