Show HN: A simple echo server for testing HTTP clients

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • Sonar - Write Clean Python Code. Always.
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • httpbin

    HTTP Request & Response Service, written in Python + Flask.

    So something like https://httpbin.org (which BTW recently has some capacity issues)

  • webserver

    A zero dependency Python 3 web server to echo back an HTTP request's headers and data. (by nickjj)

    A few years ago I put together: https://github.com/nickjj/webserver

    It's a zero dependency self hosted echo server. You run `webserver 8000` and then you can curl `localhost:8000` with whatever URL path, headers and payload you want and it'll echo it back.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
