tests

Overview

Testing tenet:

• Focus on reviewability. The test suite must require no knowledge about the library/programming languages but only about HTTP protocol. So it’s easy to review, contribute and re-use.

Feel free to review add test-cases that you think might be valuable in HTTP DeSync prevention.

  uri: # request uri (/foo/bar?baz)
  method: # request method (GET, PUT, POST, etc.)
  version: # http version (e.g. HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1, or "" for HTTP/0.9)
  headers: # a list of headers
    - name: "x-my-custom-header\x01" # a header name in quotes
      value: "some value\xff" # value
      tier: # Compliant/NonCompliant/BadHeader
    - name: # as many headers as you need for the test
      value: # ...
      tier: # ...
  expected: # The expected outcome - verdict + critical message parts (if any)
    tier: # Compliant/Acceptable/Ambiguous/Severe request

    required_message_items: # a list for error message substrings (might be empty)
      - "Content-Length" 
      - "multiple" 
      # From logs we should see why a request was classified as such.
      # E.g. "Contains multiple Content-Length" would match
      # the `required_message_items` above.
