Display Human-readable size of the http response

[TvMpt]

Could you show the length of the response in output? Some sites don't care about best practices and responds with 200 status code to show their custom 404 pages ("sorry not found"), making it hard to detect positive findings. With size in output we can easily filter out those findings...

Hello!

That's a thought. I think that would be useful, but I don't want to go too far in to adding features all in one tool. It is a bit of a pain to find real 200 OK responses though for the reason you mention.

I'll give it some thought and get back to you :)

Most of the analysis I do on the output files is done with standard linux tools, so I haven't really thought so much about this kind of thing yet.

To tide you over, here's a bit of bash that will list the files, the address, and the size of the file in bytes:

▶ find . -type f ! -name index -exec echo -n "{} " \; -exec head -n1 {} \; -exec stat --format=%s {} \; | paste - - | column -t
./httpbin.org/b03ba4483f82e897333812b5339b3cea56869d7e  https://httpbin.org/anything/foo/bar/         465
./httpbin.org/2f67264250a88219c3133343f12e6ef2f54eda6c  https://httpbin.org/.well-known/security.txt  712
./httpbin.org/3354bfb9b63c13f529617f9d4ff9df1fe5b9afab  https://httpbin.org/anything/                 449
./httpbin.org/5beaf92c22ec766fee51b0cdc59fb5c0811bb844  https://httpbin.org/anything/foo/bar/         466
...

And here's what I might do if I was looking for only '200 OK' responses:

▶ grep -ril '200 ok' * | grep -v index | xargs -n1 -I{} sh -c "echo -n '{} '; head -n1 {}; stat --format=%s {}" | paste - - | column -t

Hi @tomnomnom,

Any development on this for inbuild support? displaying content length along with status code at runtime?

[bugbaba]

Hi @madaratech ,

We can get the length/size of the response by using len(res.body)

Just change this line in your code and then compile it.

Hope it helps :)
