Test HTTP Server

This is a simple HTTP server that will respond to a single HTTP request and record some of the data. It is still an early version and doesn't do everything you probably want.

Installing

pip install testhttpserver

Using in your tests

To create a test server import the server

from testhttpserver import Server

And then create a new instance including the port, response status and content.

server = Server(8000, response_status=200, response_content='Content')

After you make your request to http://localhost:8000/ . If you POST to the server it will have request_headers, request_content, and request_path available.

When you are done remember to join()!

server.join()

See tests/test_server.py for an example!

Server Parameters

port - The port the server will listen on

response_status - int of the status to return

response_content - string of content to return

response_headers - a list of tuples to return as headers
