  • DeepfakeHTTP

    DeepfakeHTTP is a web server that uses HTTP dumps as a source for responses.

  • When I told them that I created DeepfakeHTTP, no one really reacted. Dad said: – Son, I understand that the idea of simulating an HTTP server is interesting, but what am I going to do with this simulator you created?... Will he fix the engine from the hay mower for me, or what?! Daddy took his oil-soaked, frayed-in-time notebook, and went to assemble the engine parts. – No, Dad, my server sure can't fix your motor, I replied sadly and went to bed. At night I dreamed that I was wandering through a junkyard of old, abandoned engines and shouting: – Maybe someone needs an open source mock server, with HTTP dumps under the hood? But there was such a silence around, you could hear the tedious flapping of the wings of a butterfly slowly flying past my eyes... But the engines must have heard me and some kind of switch turned, as I woke up in the morning in a very different mood! I remembered that Dad was always looking for some kind of tool for his technical notes. He had tried Word and LibreOffice Calc and Excel... But something would drift to the side, or go into a different column, or jump to a new page when there was still enough space on this one... Anyway, the oily notebook continued to take its honorable place in Dad's workshop. No, don't get me wrong, I suggested that he do all his business in a text file, but that didn't work out either. "There's no clarity", - Dad said, I want me to put in bolts for KR-18, and all my bolts for KR-18 show up right away. And Uncle Jerry's bolts, too. And that I can see what bolts Uncle Jerry has, and he can see what I have. And that Uncle Jerry and I could both see and update, him at his house and me at mine. It became clear to me that he wanted something like ERP. I thought, what if you don't write any ERP, but simulate it. Simulate it with the hands of Dad and Uncle Jerry. So, let's get down to business! We take a text file, we call it john.txt, and we write:

  • tommy

    Tommy is Apache Tomcat, bundled as a single executable jar.

  • InfluxDB
