Introduce failures into HTTP requests via a proxy server. This can uncover error handling bugs in HTTP clients. Andrew Gaul at Bounce Storage gaul@bouncestorage.com originally wrote Chaos HTTP Proxy.
Chaos HTTP Proxy can trigger many different failures:
- change case of HTTP header name
- Content-MD5 request corruption
- Content-MD5 response corruption
- client timeout, HTTP 408
- redirects (temporary and permanent)
- reorder response headers
- server errors: HTTP 500, 503, and 504
- server timeout
Users can
download releases
from GitHub.
One can also build the project by running mvn package which produces a
binary at target/chaos-http-proxy.
Chaos HTTP Proxy requires Java 7 to run.
Linux and Mac OS X users can run Chaos HTTP Proxy via the executable jar:
chmod +x chaos-http-proxy
chaos-http-proxy --properties chaos-http-proxy.conf
Windows users must explicitly invoke java:
java -jar chaos-http-proxy --properties chaos-http-proxy.conf
- lacks HTTP authentication
- lacks HTTPS support
- Charles Web Debugging Proxy - allows interactive modification of HTTP requests and responses
- Chaos Monkey - inspiration for Chaos HTTP Proxy
- Hamms - designed to elicit failures in your HTTP Client, similar to httpbin
- httpbin - HTTP Request & Response Service which can deterministically exercise HTTP functionality
- pathod - programmable HTTP server
