Focused monitoring utility
Scoped the project as a transparent first-pass availability check rather than a replacement for production monitoring.
Open Source / Python Automation / Daily Build
HTTP Pulse
/ Overview
A dependency-free Python CLI that checks a small endpoint list and reports HTTP status, latency and failures in text or JSON.
Quickly checking several websites or health endpoints by hand is repetitive and makes it easy to miss a failure or lose the response-time context.
/ Provided servicesClear thinking.
Clear thinking.
Practical delivery.
Resilient request handling
Handled successful responses, HTTP failures, connection errors and timeouts with explicit status details and exit codes.
Testable Python design
Injected network and clock dependencies so behavior can be tested deterministically without sending external requests.
/ Solution
I built a standard-library Python CLI that validates a plain-text URL list, checks each HTTP or HTTPS endpoint with a timeout, and produces a stable text or JSON summary.
/ Impact
HTTP status and latency summary
Configurable per-request timeout
Readable and JSON reports
Nine passing network-free tests
Python
urllib, pathlib, dataclasses and a monotonic clock provide the complete checker without third-party dependencies.
CLI & JSON
argparse exposes input, timeout and machine-readable output options for terminal or local automation use.
Unittest
Nine tests cover URL validation, status classification, latency, failures, ordering and report summaries without network access.
