wait4x http

Wait for an HTTP(S) endpoint to become available with flexible validation options. More information: https://github.com/wait4x/wait4x.

• Wait for an HTTP endpoint to respond with a specific status code:

wait4x http {{https://example.com/health}} --expect-status-code {{200}}

• Wait for a response body to match a regex pattern:

wait4x http {{https://api.example.com/status}} --expect-body-regex '{{\"status\":\s*\"healthy\"}}'

• Wait for a specific JSON field to exist using GJSON path syntax:

wait4x http {{https://api.example.com/status}} --expect-body-json "{{services.database.status}}"

• Wait for a response with custom request headers:

wait4x http {{https://api.example.com}} --request-header "{{Authorization: Bearer token123}}"

• Wait for a specific response header to match a value:

wait4x http {{https://api.example.com}} --expect-header "{{Content-Type=application/json}}"

• Wait using a TLS client certificate:

wait4x http {{https://example.com}} --cert-file {{path/to/cert.pem}} --key-file {{path/to/key.pem}}

• Wait with a custom timeout and inverted check (wait for endpoint to go down):

wait4x http {{https://example.com/health}} --expect-status-code {{200}} --invert-check --timeout {{60s}}
