Polis.rb

Simple Ruby (Sinatra) HTTP listener that logs POST contents to STDERR.

Install

After cloning, install the gems.

bundle install --path=.bundle

Running

bundle exec foreman start

Interacting

GET

Visit http://localhost:9000 in a browser to see that it's running.

POST

POST to the URL to see the POST data logged to the command line.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"hello":"world"}' http://localhost:9000

In the console you started the server, you'll see some output:

19:57:41 web.1  | I, [2015-06-03T19:57:41.140521 #11892]  INFO -- : Logging POST request:
19:57:41 web.1  | Headers:
19:57:41 web.1  | {"HTTP_USER_AGENT"=>"curl/7.37.1", "HTTP_HOST"=>"localhost:9000", "HTTP_ACCEPT"=>"*/*", "HTTP_VERSION"=>"HTTP/1.1", "HTTP_ORIGIN"=>nil}
19:57:41 web.1  | Body:
19:57:41 web.1  | {"hello":"world"}

Overriding Defaults

To override the default behavior, set the following environment variables

• PORT
  • What port this application listens on.
  • Defaults to 9000.
• STATUS_CODE
  • The HTTP status code this application will return on POST requests.
  • Defaults to 200.
  • Useful to test how the calling application responds to non-successful error codes.
• SECONDS_TO_SLEEP
  • How many seconds to sleep before responding to the POST requests.
  • Defaults to 0.
  • Useful to test how the calling application handles requests that time out.

PORT=9090 STATUS_CODE=500 SECONDS_TO_SLEEP=2.5 bundle exec foreman start

Note: Set the environment variables yourself, like above, or use dotenv's .env file to store them.
