httplog is a command line tool that launches a local HTTP server that logs all
requests it receives, replying with a canned response.

Usage: httplog [options...]

Options:
  --help                        show helpful information
  --listen         <host:port>  configure the listening address for the HTTP
                                server (default localhost:8080)
  --response       <text>       configure the canned body sent in response to
                                all requests (default none)
  --response-code  <code>       configure the HTTP status code sent in response
                                to all requests (default 200)
  --response-header <X=Y>       configure one or more headers to be sent in the
                                response, may be specified more than once
  --json                        log all requests as JSON rather than human
                                readable text
  --tls-self-cert               enable TLS with a self-signed certificate

### Examples

Run with no options, a server will be launched on localhost:8080, answering no body and an HTTP 200 status code to all requests.

To configure the HTTP status code, use the --response-code <code> option, i.e. for a HTTP 500 Internal Server code:

$ httplog --response-code 500

$ curl -v http://localhost:8080
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

To configure the response body, use the --response <text> option, i.e. to responsd the text hello world to all requests:

$ httplog --response "hello world"

$ curl http://localhost:8080
Hello World

If you would prefer JSON output, rather than human-readable text, use the --json option.
