flex-http-echo-server

Based on Thomas Watson's http-echo-server

This will create either a HTTP or HTTPS server. The npm run start script takes care of creating a self-signed certificate to make things easier. It replies with the configured HTTP Code(or 200 as a default) and prints the body of the request as well as the URL and Method used.

Installation

Execute npm install as usual.

Example usage

Just curl the URL of the app:

# When using HTTP: GET
curl http://localhost:56537/trying/out/the/url

# When using HTTPS: GET request that accepts the self-signed certificate
curl -k https://localhost:56537/trying/out/the/url

# When using HTTP: POST request
curl http://localhost:56537/trying/out/the/url -d "{ \"data\": \"tests\" }"

# When using HTTP: POST request that accepts the self-signed certificate
curl -k https://localhost:56537/trying/out/the/url -d "{ \"data\": \"tests\" }"

TODO:

• Add documentation on how to start in HTTPS mode;
• Add documentation on how to set up the port;
• Add documentation on how to set up the HTTP Code;
