Troubleshooting proxy and/or 3rd party URLs

(0 reviews)

This is extremely useful troubleshooting external URLs going through proxy / eGTMs / iGTMs and all other sort of combinations.

What i really like about it is it really gives good data for different touch points.

1.time_namelookup

2.time_connect
3.time_appconnect
4.time_pretransfer
5.time_redirect
6.time_starttransfer

It helped me handling extrenal 3rd party URLs and their response times, handshake failures.

Here is what each value represents, according to curl’s manual page:

  • lookup: The time, in seconds, it took from the start until the name resolving was completed.
  • connect: The time, in seconds, it took from the start until the TCP connect to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.
  • appconnect: The time, in seconds, it took from the start until the SSL/SSH/etc connect/handshake to the remote host was completed. (Added in 7.19.0)
  • pretransfer: The time, in seconds, it took from the start until the file transfer was just about to begin. This includes all pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are specific to the particular protocol(s) involved.
  • redirect: The time, in seconds, it took for all redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer before the final transaction was started. time_redirect shows the complete execution time for multiple redirections. (Added in 7.12.3)
  • starttransfer: The time, in seconds, it took from the start until the first byte was just about to be transferred. This includes time_pretransfer and also the time the server needed to calculate the result.
  • total: The total time, in seconds, that the full operation lasted. The time will be displayed with millisecond resolution.

Note:- Proxy details are below, replace proxies as & when requested in the curl command.

User Proxies (from branches) 

DFW: 10.43.196.141,142,143,144,148,149

SAT: 10.47.196.141,142,143,144,148

System Proxies (from data center, system to system) 

DFW: 10.43.196.139, 140

SAT: 10.47.196.139, 140

NOTE: You must create the curl-format.txt file where it is that you are going to run the command.  The contents need to be

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}\n

SYNTAX of the command is

curl -p <enter proxy IP:port> -w "@curlformat.txt" -o /dev/null -k <enter URL>

 

BELOW you will find some examples of running the command

Here is another example:

With an example of both you can now do comparisons and see the difference of a successful and failed connection attempt
