Readme
A reasonably complete and well-tested golang port of Kenneth Reitz's httpbin service, with zero dependencies outside the go stdlib.
Run as a standalone binary, configured by command line flags or environment variables:
$ go-httpbin -help
Usage of ./dist/go-httpbin:
-max-duration duration
Maximum duration a response may take (default 10s)
-max-memory int
Maximum size of request or response, in bytes (default 1048576)
-port int
Port to listen on (default 8080)
Docker images are published to Docker Hub:
$ docker run -P mccutchen/go-httpbin
The github.com/mccutchen/go-httpbin/httpbin
package can also be used as a
library for testing an applications interactions with an upstream HTTP service,
like so:
package httpbin_test
import (
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"time"
"github.com/mccutchen/go-httpbin/httpbin"
)
func TestSlowResponse(t *testing.T) {
handler := httpbin.NewHTTPBin().Handler()
srv := httptest.NewServer(handler)
defer srv.Close()
client := http.Client{
Timeout: time.Duration(1 * time.Second),
}
_, err := client.Get(srv.URL + "/delay/10")
if err == nil {
t.Fatal("expected timeout error")
}
}

I've been a longtime user of Kenneith Reitz's original httpbin.org, and wanted to write a golang port for fun and to see how far I could get using only the stdlib.
When I started this project, there were a handful of existing and incomplete
golang ports, with the most promising being ahmetb/go-httpbin. This
project showed me how useful it might be to have an httpbin
library
available for testing golang applications.
Compared to the original:
/brotli
endpoint (due to lack of support in Go's stdlib)?show_env=1
query param is ignored (i.e. no special handling of
runtime environment headers)Compared to ahmetb/go-httpbin:
# local development
make
make test
make testcover
make run
# building & pushing docker images
make image
make imagepush
