- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoThe point of this submission was more to point out you can do `curl whatismyip.akamai.com` rather than "ping `curl whatismyip.akamai.com`" specifically, but that's still interesting.
- cynwoody 13y agoI was just trying to measure the latency to the server, an important characteristic for this service. Previous ones I've used in the past (e.g., to update a dynamic DNS server) have suffered from excessive (multi-second) latency or would simply timeout unpredictably. I ended up writing my own on appspot.com.
- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoAh, sorry, I had misread your post.
