feat(py): step 2 — per-phase latency measurement (phases.py)
Hand-drives raw sockets to time each HTTP phase individually — DNS (getaddrinfo), TCP connect, TLS handshake (ssl.wrap_socket, https only), TTFB (sendall → first recv), Transfer (first byte → EOF), Total. Partial phases are preserved on failure (same invariant as Go's probe.go). Error classification mirrors Go's priority: dns → timeout → tls → connect. Output format matches Go's single-sample text layout. Input: bare URL args or plain-text config file (same format as simple.py). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Python Port — Step 2: `phases.py`
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Introduce the manual per-phase timing technique — the Python answer to Go's
|
||||
`net/http/httptrace`. A single self-contained script that hand-drives a raw
|
||||
socket for each URL and times each phase individually with `time.perf_counter()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why raw sockets
|
||||
|
||||
Python's `urllib` / `httpx` / `requests` give no per-phase callbacks, unlike
|
||||
Go's `httptrace.ClientTrace`. The only way to time DNS, TCP connect, TLS
|
||||
handshake, TTFB, and transfer independently is to drive the connection at the
|
||||
socket level:
|
||||
- `socket.getaddrinfo()` → DNS
|
||||
- `sock.connect()` → TCP
|
||||
- `ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket()` → TLS (HTTPS only)
|
||||
- `sock.sendall(request)` + `sock.recv()` → TTFB
|
||||
- drain to EOF → Transfer
|
||||
|
||||
## Input
|
||||
|
||||
- Bare URL(s) as positional args: `python phases.py https://example.com`
|
||||
- Or a plain-text config file: `python phases.py configs/all-ok.txt`
|
||||
(detected by whether the first arg starts with `http://` / `https://`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
Mirrors Go's single-sample text layout for each URL:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://example.com (200)
|
||||
DNS lookup : 18.21 ms
|
||||
TCP connect : 10.12 ms
|
||||
TLS handshake : 36.11 ms
|
||||
Server (TTFB) : 21.95 ms
|
||||
Transfer : 0.18 ms
|
||||
─────────────────────────────
|
||||
Total : 88.00 ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- TLS row omitted for `http://` URLs.
|
||||
- On failure: header shows `(FAILED)`, partial phases shown, error at the end.
|
||||
- Multiple URLs separated by a blank line.
|
||||
|
||||
## Error classification
|
||||
|
||||
Mirrors Go's priority order (dns → timeout → tls → connect):
|
||||
- `socket.gaierror` → `"dns"`
|
||||
- `socket.timeout` / `TimeoutError` → `"timeout"` (regardless of phase)
|
||||
- `ssl.SSLError` or `OSError` during TLS wrap → `"tls"`
|
||||
- `ConnectionRefusedError` / other `OSError` during connect → `"connect"`
|
||||
- Error after first byte → `"transfer"`
|
||||
|
||||
Partial phases are preserved on failure (same invariant as Go).
|
||||
|
||||
## Known limitations (documented in usage doc)
|
||||
|
||||
- No redirect following (3xx responses are reported with their raw status code).
|
||||
- `Connection: close` + read-to-EOF; no keep-alive, no HTTP/2.
|
||||
- Timeout hard-coded at 10 s (no `--timeout` flag — that's in the full version).
|
||||
- Bodies fully drained to get accurate Transfer timing.

||||
