Dummy Service
A simple, minimal express service for testing and debugging CDNs, load-balancers and proxies, as a safe, known backend.
It will return all HTTP data sent to it.
There is a public instance running on dummy.now.sh
.
Warning: This will reflect everything that is sent to it, including potentially your authentication/authorization secrets.
Please take care not to leak anything sensitive.
With Dummy Service there are a couple of special-case headers which alter the behaviour of the service.
Dummy-Status
: This overrides the status-code returned by a given call. Defaults to 200. (e.g. return a 403)Dummy-Response
: This overrides the response body returned by a given call. Otherwise will return all headers and cookies in a JSON blob. (e.g. return an error page)Dummy-Delay
: This adds a delay (in microseconds) in the processing of the response, useful for testing a stalled origin. Defaults to off.Dummy-Cache-Control
: This overrides the cache-control header returned. Defaults to private
to prevent caching.
