Echo Server

A very simple HTTP echo server with support for websockets.

Behavior

• Any messages sent from a websocket client are echoed
• Visit /.ws for a basic UI to connect and send websocket messages
• Requests to any other URL will return the request headers and body

Configuration

• The PORT environment variable sets the server port, which defaults to 8080
• Set the LOG_HTTP_BODY environment variable to dump request bodies to STDOUT

Running the server

The examples below show a few different ways of running the server with the HTTP server bound to a custom TCP port of 10000.

Running locally

GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/jmalloc/echo-server/...
PORT=10000 echo-server

Running under Docker

To run as a container:

docker run --detach -p 10000:8080 jmalloc/echo-server

To run as a service:
