Licenced under the Apache License Version 2.0.


New httest 2.2 version. 2.2.4 released on 30. May 2012 available. Recommended stable version.

Features

• Advanced HTTP protocol handling, including ne-grained timeout handling, request and response validation.
• Simulating clients and servers, including startup and shutdown of server daemons. This allows to create mock-ups of back-end systems in more complex test situations, for example when the tested application needs to interact with a 3rd-party back-end system which is not available in the testing environment.
• Even POP3 and SMTP can be emulated with the simple httest scripting language.
• Execution of external commandline tools, using their output as request or response data, or for validation purposes.
• Copying stream data (e.g. from a response) and re-using it in variables.
• Simulating NTLM client and server.
• Various functions for url encoding, base64 encoding, math operations and many more.

Examples

To get a quick start here a simple example. Copy past the following script into a file "simple.htt"

CLIENT
_REQ www.google.ch 80
__GET / HTTP/1.1
__Host: www.google.ch
__
_EXPECT headers "200 OK"
_WAIT
END

and run httest with this script with the following command:

./httest simple.htt

The test script gets googles root and test if we get a 200 OK. If not the script will fail else it will terminate with a OK and exit code 0.
