http://1u.ms/log is broken?

Hi!

First off, thank you for this great project, and running the live service. It's very helpful for testing DNS issues.

I was reading through the main docs, and it references http://1u.ms/log. When I visit that URL or curl it nothing appears to happen. Am I missing something?

Hi!

Do you see anything in the terminal when running curl http://1u.ms/log?

I guess the cause of the misunderstanding might be that the URL somewhat violates HTTP protocol: it never finishes loading. It is similar to pre-websocket polling techniques. Thus, opening it in a browser does not make sense.

The intended usage is like this:

  1. You run curl http://1u.ms/log?grep=... in one terminal window and keep it running.
  2. You do your experiments while checking if something appeared in the first terminal.

The whole idea is to simulate tail -f /var/log/something.log, which is very handy during SSRF testing.

Please check if you still have any problems. If you can suggest any particular functionality for inspecting logs (or otherwise), let me know)

Hey, thanks for the quick response.

Weird, I just tested out both curl http://1u.ms/log and using the grep parameter and it's working now! I must've been having some intermittent issues yesterday. Thanks for the help!
