httpecho

A small utility for HTTP diagnostics.

Purpose

This is a small utility for debugging HTTP interactions by printing information about the requests it receives, or by returning specific response codes depending on the request format.

Features

• Respond to any request, with any method, and dump the full contents of the request, including headers and body, using httputil.DumpRequest(), and then return a 200.
• Force a response code to requests (any method) on the path /code/{DESIRED_RESPONSE_CODE} (eg curl -i localhost:8080/code/401). This is useful for testing API clients, load balancers, or proxies.

Further documentation

• It's a short utility, so don't be afraid to peek at the code.
• The command-line supports -help:

Usage of httpecho:
  -address="": the address to bind to. Default is 0.0.0.0
  -port="8080": the local port to bind to
