web-debug-server

A very minimal web server that responds with a page containing the request headers and content

Usage

  -bind host:port
        The host:port to bind, but using port flag is preferred (env BIND)
  -port int
        The port to bind (env PORT) (default 8080)
  -redirects path=location
        Declares path=location mapping of local path to a resulting 307 redirect location (env REDIRECTS)
  -response-fixed-body string
        When set, specifies a fixed body to write to the response (env RESPONSE_FIXED_BODY)
  -response-fixed-content-type string
        When FixedBody is set, specifies the content type to set (env RESPONSE_FIXED_CONTENT_TYPE) (default "text/plain")
  -response-headers value
        List of header:value pairs to include in response (env RESPONSE_HEADERS)
  -response-status int
        When set, specifies the status code to use in responses (env RESPONSE_STATUS) (default 200)

Running as a Docker container

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 itzg/web-debug-server

Examples

If the server is started with --port 8123, then accessing http://localhost:8123?query=testing from a browser would render:

If the server is also given --redirects /redirect=/, then accessing http://localhost:8123/redirect would redirect the browser to http://localhost:8123/.
