Using the curl'ing tips up this branch of comments I programmed a highly sophisticated script and dropped it on github. :)

Nice!

I would have gone for a simpler loop:

echo -e "sec\tmethod\turl";for url in {https,http}://{www.,}{en.wikipedia.org,{google,reddit,facebook,youtube,netflix,amazon,twitter,linkedin,msn}.com,google.co.in}; do curl -sL "$url" -w "%{time_redirect}\t${url%:}\t${url#//}\n" -o/dev/null; done|sort

Wow. Thanks for teaching me that. Yeah, yours is better, I'll lay it on github with a thank you and maybe "embrace and extend" it.

Or learn python and port it to python, I could swing it that way.. Cheers.
