Paths

`/[?wait=d]`

Returns the whoami information (request and network information).

The optional wait query parameter can be provided to tell the server to wait before sending the response. The duration is expected in Go's time.Duration format (e.g. /?wait=100ms to wait 100 milliseconds).

The optional env query parameter can be set to true to add the environment variables to the response.

`/api`

Returns the whoami information (and some extra information) as JSON.

The optional env query parameter can be set to true to add the environment variables to the response.

`/bench`

Always return the same response (1).

`/data?size=n[&unit=u]`

Creates a response with a size n.

The unit of measure, if specified, accepts the following values: KB, MB, GB, TB (optional, default: bytes).

`/echo`

WebSocket echo.

Heath check.

GET, HEAD, ...: returns a response with the status code defined by the POST
POST: changes the status code of the GET (HEAD, ...) response.
