New tool to save HTTP stats

· 4 min read

Spider may be very useful to extract system statistics.
But its small retention time (due to high data volume) limits the usage you may do with these stats.

This new tool extracts HTTP statistics from Spider captured data and save them into another index with longer retention time.

Location extraction

I got today an idea from Enzo: add a link next to the Location header in the HTTP details to allow loading the linked resource from the HTTP response.

As I liked the idea, I did it straight :)

From the official RFC, the location may be absolute or relative, so Spider manages both:

  • Either a direct link to the absolute URI
  • Or a link built from the 'host' header, the 'x-forwarded-proto' if present, and the relative 'location' header.

Now the location is then available in the HTTP global tab. Thanks you Enzo!
