Iam not aware of any bash command for this purpose. But<br />
You can write a small program that sends a HTTP Get request to the server<br />
and measures the response time<br />
Its really very simple<br />
All you need to do is open a socket, connect to the server port 80 (or whatever the<br />
server is listening to), note the time, send the http get request, wait for response,<br />
note down time, calculate difference and you have the round trip time.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
is there any way in bash to query the round trip time to a http server? I have to use the http protocol so ping is no good. &nbsp;I have to compare this to ping. I thought wget might have something but I couldn't find what to use.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Query HTTP server

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
