SCRIPTS
httest is script based. The following script examples can be but into a scripte i.e. sample.htt and can be called like httest sample.htt
SIMPLE SCRIPT
Get a page and do expect return code 200 OK. CLIENT _REQ www.google.ch 80 __GET /search?q=apache HTTP/1.1 __Host: www.google.ch __ _EXPECT headers "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" _WAIT END
CUT AND PAST SCRIPT
Cut and past from a HTTP stream, i.e we cut the apache host to access it in the second request. CLIENT _REQ www.google.ch 80 __GET /search?q=apache HTTP/1.1 __Host: www.google.ch __ _MATCH body '<a href="http://([^/]*)/" class=l>Welcome! - The <em>Apache</em> HTTP Server Project' APACHE_HOST _WAIT _REQ $APACHE_HOST 80 __GET / HTTP/1.1 __Host: $APACHE_HOST __ _WAIT END
CLIENT SERVER SCRIPT
We can hold client and server in the same host. Actually multiple client and multiple server. Very useful to test forward or reverse prox- ies. Or a webapplication which communicat itself with third party servers i.e. mail server. This is a very basic selfcontained test you can run on any maschine. CLIENT _REQ localhost 8080 __GET /foo HTTP/1.1 __Host: localhost __ _WAIT END SERVER 8080 _RES _EXPECT "/foo" _WAIT __HTTP/1.1 200 OK __Content-Length: AUTO __ __Hello World END
SSL SCRIPT
Of course SSL do also work with httest, just put "SSL:" before port. CLIENT _REQ localhost SSL:8080 __GET /foo HTTP/1.1 __Host: localhost __ _WAIT END SERVER SSL:8080 _RES _EXPECT "/foo" _WAIT __HTTP/1.1 200 OK __Content-Length: AUTO __ __Hello World END
