http related tests rely on external service that may sometimes be down

[lburgazzoli]

https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/alpha/cz is used by http tests but it may be down (as now) and break the tests

Time to fix restcountries?

[lburgazzoli]

wonder if we should use mockserver module

[oscerd]

That project is mostly dead, there is a guy working on a fork of the apilayer restcountries API and he is providing a new url with the service up and running

https://restcountries.com/v2/alpha/cz

wonder if we should use mockserver module

Or just locally stub out whatever endpoint(s) we need with a JAX-RS resource class.

I think the only reason we use restcountries is because of the ssl

[lburgazzoli]

I don't know how simple it is to have an ssl and a non ssl endpoint in quarkus

[lburgazzoli]

I'm switching to the restcountries.com/v2/alpha/cz for the moment, then we need a better solution

[ppalaga]

Yeah, SSL was the main motivation for using restcountries
