blankd summoned for help with testing software which should do http requests to http servers.
blankd listens specified address and runs specified program on every http request, program should serve that http request and output http response like as following:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: Close
X-Custom-Header: Test
response body
Note, you doesn't have to write all headers, you should write only additional http headers, because blankd will automaticaly create all other standard http headers, there is one important rule: after headers you should write two line-breaks, if you want to send custom http status, then you must write it at the first line.
For your usability purposes blankd will create temporary directory for every request with following structure:
.
├── _id # unique identifier (generated by **blankd**)
├── raw # raw request
├── method # request method in uppercase
├── host # request host from Host: header
├── uri
│ ├── raw # raw request URI
│ ├── path # URI path without query
│ ├── query # URI query without path
│ └── values # URI form values in 'key=value' format
├── headers
│ ├── raw # raw request headers
│ └── values # request headers in 'key=value' format
├── cookies # request cookies in 'key=value' format
└── body
├── raw # raw request body
└── values # request form values in 'key=value' format
blankd will pass path to directory with request details as argument to specified program.
After running blankd you doesn't have to guess an answer to question like 'does it listening now?', because blankd will fork when starts listening for a http connections, output new process pid to stdout and exit with zero code.
