Report plot with status code detail about vegeta HOT 6 CLOSED

@davideicardi: That's what happens. Errors are drawn as red, otherwise green.

from vegeta.

I'm executing the following command:

echo "GET http://httpstat.us/500" | vegeta attack -duration=10s -rate=2 | tee results.bin | vegeta report -reporter=plot > plot.html

The page always return a 500 http code, but I get only a single green line. I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe I missing something...sorry I'm new to GO lang.

This was a bug. Thanks for finding it and reporting! https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta/releases/tag/v5.5.1

Thanks very much for your prompt response and fix!

Unfortunately I think that there is one more little problem: often pages that return 500 also return complex HTML error pages. For example:

• https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/asd
• http://www.thomas-bayer.com/sqlrest/cxz/zx

Other times the page is empty:

• https://www.youtube.com/feed/history/asd

With your last commit you write the body of the page as the error, correct me if I'm wrong. But this can a problem because it is a waste of memory, the message is a complex HTML difficult to read or worst an empty message that potentially can cause the page to be considered OK by the reporter.

My suggestion is to just put the HTTP status or description like "HTTP error 500".

What do you think?

I will be happy to submit a pull request but I never written a line with golang...

thanks!
