dummyhttp
A super simple HTTP server that replies with a fixed body and 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 and log incoming request data. HTTP/2 support included.
How to use
Log all incoming request data
dummyhttp --verbose
curl -X POST localhost:8080 -d hi
# ┌─Incoming request
# │ POST / HTTP/1.1
# │ Accept: */*
# │ Content-Length: 2
# │ Host: localhost:8080
# │ User-Agent: curl/7.66.0
# │ Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
# │ Body:
# hi
Example with color:
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
Return a specific header
dummyhttp -b "Hello World" -H application/json
curl localhost:8080
# < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
# < content-length: 10
# < content-type: application/json
# < date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 11:10:14 GMT
# <

This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:
- Update version in
Cargo.tomlandREADME.md git commitandgit tag -s,git push- Run
cargo publish - Releases will be built and deployed automatically by GitHub Actions
- Update AUR package
