dummyhttp

A super simple HTTP server that replies a fixed body with a fixed response code

This is a simple, small, self-contained, cross-platform CLI tool for debugging and testing. It allows you to return arbitrary HTTP responses.

How to use

Running with no arguments always returns 200 on all interfaces at port 8080

dummyhttp
curl localhost:8080
# < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
# < content-length: 10
# < date: Sat, 09 Jun 2018 13:56:14 GMT
# <
# dummyhttp

Always emit 400 Bad Request

dummyhttp -c 400
curl localhost:8080
# < HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
# < content-length: 10
# < date: Sat, 09 Jun 2018 13:57:53 GMT
# <
# dummyhttp

Always return a certain string

dummyhttp -b "Hello World"
curl localhost:8080
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< content-length: 12
< date: Sat, 09 Jun 2018 13:58:57 GMT
<
Hello World

This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:

Update version in Cargo.toml.
git commit and git tag -s, git push.
cargo publish
Releases will automatically be deployed by Travis.
