Development HTTP/HTTPs servers to echo (and drop) incoming requests

README.md

Development HTTP and HTTPS servers to echo (and drop) incoming requests

Generate an SSL cert for HTTPS server

1. Install openssl and python 3

openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.crt -subj '/CN=localhost'

2. Trust it (OS X)

sudo security add-trusted-cert -p ssl -d -r trustRoot -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain localhost.crt

Run servers

HTTP - port 8080

$ python echoserver_http.py
Listening on port 8080...

HTTPS - port 8443

$ python echoserver_https.py
Listening on port 8443...

Demo

CURL:

curl 'https://localhost:8443/test' -X POST -H 'My-Header: Testing'
curl 'http://localhost:8443/test' -X POST -H 'My-Header: Testing'

HTTPS:

❯ python echoserver_https.py
Listening on port 8443...
HTTPServerRequest(protocol='https', host='localhost:8443', method='POST', uri='/test', version='HTTP/1.1', remote_ip='::1', headers={'My-Header': 'Testing', 'Host': 'localhost:8443', 'Accept': '*/*', 'User-Agent': 'curl/7.43.0'})

HTTP:

❯ python echoserver_http.py
Listening on port 8080...
HTTPServerRequest(protocol='http', host='localhost:8080', method='POST', uri='/test', version='HTTP/1.1', remote_ip='::1', headers={'My-Header': 'Testing', 'Host': 'localhost:8080', 'Accept': '*/*', 'User-Agent': 'curl/7.43.0'})
