Mock url-retrieve responses

fake.retrieve.el

Simple emacs package to mock response from `url-retrieve` when you are working off the grid.

Overview

The packages comes with 2 simple macros. You can wrap your `url-retrieve` functions call in your code and it will use mock file instead of doing a real network call.

Mock files content should be in the same format than what `url-retrieve` usually returns. For instance:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
cache-control: private
content-length: 5372
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
strict-transport-security: max-age=15552000
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST
access-control-allow-credentials: false
x-content-type-options: nosniff
x-request-guid: 00563b82-5c3f-499c-baf2-b6671a9f81b9
content-security-policy: upgrade-insecure-requests; frame-ancestors 'self' https://stackexchange.com

with-fake-retrieve-file

For simple usage, `with-fake-retrieve-file` is enough.

(with-fake-retrieve-file "~/path/to/file.mock"
					   (url-retrieve "https://some-distant-url"
									 (lambda (_)
									   ;; manipulate response
									   )))  

with-fake-retrieve

For most advanced usages, you can use the more complete `with-fake-retrieve` that relies on the variable `fake-retieve-store`

(setq fake-retrieve-endpoints
  '((:match "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/search?tagged=javascript&intitle=sort&site=stackoverflow"
			:delay 0.5
			:file "~/path/to/file/mock")
	(:match "https://github.com/test/"
			:delay 0.5
			:file "~/path/to/file/mock")))

(with-fake-retrieve (url-retrieve "https://some-distant-url"
									(lambda (_)
									  ;; manipulate response
									  )))
