httest

The httest provides a large variety of HTTP-related functionality, useful for implementing all kinds of HTTP-based tests.

• 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.
• 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.
• Supports ICAP, websocket, POP3, SMTP and many more
