Question

I have written the following code in ruby to ping a website and check the response. If the response comes true the website is responding well but if false that shows the website is not responding.

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'


def ping(host)
begin
 url=URI.parse(host)
 response=Net::HTTP.get(url)
   if response==""
     return false
   else
     return true
   end
   rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED
     return false
 end
end

This code works fine but cannot calculate the respose time in which the website responds.

So my question is How to calculate the response time in which the website responds??

Answer 1

How about add Time.now after url=URI.parse(host) and after response?
