This is a very simple HTTP echo server with support for websockets and server-sent events (SSE), available at https://echo-websocket.fly.dev/
The server is designed for testing HTTP proxies and clients. It echoes information about HTTP request headers and bodies back to the client.
- Any messages sent from a websocket client are echoed as a websocket message.
- Visit
/.ws
in a browser for a basic UI to connect and send websocket messages. - Request
/.sse
to receive the echo response via server-sent events. - Request any other URL to receive the echo response in plain text.
The PORT
environment variable sets the server port, which defaults to 8080
.
Set the LOG_HTTP_HEADERS
environment variable to print request headers to
STDOUT
. Additionally, set the LOG_HTTP_BODY
environment variable to print
entire request bodies.
Set the SEND_SERVER_HOSTNAME
environment variable to false
to prevent the
server from responding with its hostname before echoing the request. The client
may send the X-Send-Server-Hostname
request header to true
or false
to
override this server-wide setting on a per-request basis.
Set the SEND_HEADER_<header-name>
variable to send arbitrary additional
headers in the response. Underscores in the variable name are converted to
hyphens in the header. For example, the following environment variables can be
used to disable CORS:
SEND_HEADER_ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_ORIGIN="*"
SEND_HEADER_ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_METHODS="*"
SEND_HEADER_ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_HEADERS="*"
The examples below show a few different ways of running the server with the HTTP
server bound to a custom TCP port of 10000
.
go get -u github.com/jmalloc/echo-server/...
PORT=10000 echo-server
To run the latest version as a container:
docker run --detach -p 10000:8080 jmalloc/echo-server
Or, as a swarm service:
docker service create --publish 10000:8080 jmalloc/echo-server
The docker container can be built locally with:
make docker
