* Flux 0.173.0+

InfluxDB support

`requests.peek()` converts an HTTP response into a table for easy inspection.

The output table includes the following columns:

* **body** with the response body as a string
* **statusCode** with the returned status code as an integer
* **headers** with a string representation of the headers
* **duration** the duration of the request as a number of nanoseconds

To customize how the response data is structured in a table, use `array.from()`with a function like `json.parse()`. Parse the response body into a set of values
and then use `array.from()` to construct a table from those values.

##### Function type signature

```js
(
    response: {A with statusCode: E, headers: D, duration: C, body: B},
) => stream[{statusCode: E, headers: string, duration: int, body: string}]
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### response

(Required)
Response data from an HTTP request.

## Examples

### Inspect the response of an HTTP request
