This program will return the status code you provide it in the URL as the body of the response while also using that as the status code.
retsta was born out of the desire to have a reliable source of status codes so I could test my shell scripts without hitting someone else's server so many times.
I have it live at https://genbyte.dev/status/, so some examples:
There is a very basic service file for systemd in the root of the source tree.
It assumes the bin is at /usr/bin/retstat and the Rocket.toml file lives in the
/etc/retstat directory.
I'd like to move away from Rocket eventually, as it's needlessly (for this purpose) heavy. Ideally I'll use something like tiny_http, but I wanted the threading that comes with Rocket by default.
Configuration is controlled through the Rocket.toml file. There
you can change the port and address that the server runs on.
retstat defaults to only running on localhost, port 30210.
Below is the recommended configuration for Nginx.
Thanks to this answer which taught me how to remove the path the proxy
lives under from the path the proxy receives. What I mean is, if you visit
https://genbyte.dev/status/200, retstat won't see /status/200 but /200
instead.
```nginx location = /status { return 302 /status/; }
location /status/ { proxy_pass http://localhost:30210/; } ```
