Slow Request Simulator (SRS)

SRS is a simple Go program that simulates a timeout bounded HTTP server where execution time of each request can be set using a url query param.

Server

./srs 5

    ./srs n

        n must be an integer representing the number of seconds before the server times out

Client

curl localhost:8090/hello\?t=6

    curl localhost:8090/hello\?t=6
    
        t must be an integer representing the number of seconds the request will take to complete

Example using http CLI

• Happy path (request takes less or as much as timeout allows)

http :8090/hello\?t=5
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 9
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2020 14:55:36 GMT

all good

• Sad path (request takes longer than timeout allows)

http :8090/hello\?t=6
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Length: 26
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2020 15:03:32 GMT
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
