gologhttpbinary v0.2.3 was released on October 14, 2025 as a maintenance-focused update designed to keep the project’s build environment and CI/CD tooling current.

This lightweight HTTP debugging tool continues to serve its core purpose: capturing HTTP requests and logging them as base64-encoded strings, making it ideal for inspecting binary payloads like protobuf messages during development and testing.

What’s New

Release v0.2.3 is a behind-the-scenes maintenance update with no changes to the application’s functionality. The update focuses on keeping the project healthy and up-to-date:

Runtime Updates:

  • Go runtime updated through version 1.25.2 across all build configurations

CI/CD Tooling Updates:

  • GitHub Actions workflows updated to latest versions (actions/checkout@v5, actions/setup-go@v6, github/codeql-action@v4, and others)

For users of the gologhttpbinary service, the HTTP server behaves exactly as before—capturing request paths, headers, and bodies, and returning HTTP 200 with “OK”.

Why It Matters

While this release doesn’t introduce new features, it represents good maintenance practice:

  • Security & Stability: Updated runtime environments help ensure the build process uses current, patched versions of dependencies
  • Supply Chain Integrity: Updated GitHub Actions with latest security features and provenance attestations
  • Continued Development: Regular dependency updates signal an actively maintained project

For developers using gologhttpbinary in their testing workflows, this means continued reliability and confidence that the tool is being kept current.

Getting Started

Docker Deployment

The easiest way to run gologhttpbinary v0.2.3:

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/gologhttpbinary:v0.2.3

Or use the latest tag for automatic updates:

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/gologhttpbinary:latest

Configuration

The service listens on port 8080 by default. To change the port, set the PORT environment variable:

docker run -p 9090:9090 -e PORT=9090 ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/gologhttpbinary:v0.2.3

Upgrade Notes

Upgrading from v0.2.2 is straightforward—there are no breaking changes or configuration updates required. Simply pull the new Docker image and restart your container.
