Test with Extism CLI

For testing purposes, you can invoke functions from Extism plugins with Extism CLI.

  1. Install Extism CLI from Github releases:
wget https://github.com/extism/cli/releases/download/v1.5.1/extism-v1.5.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz -O /tmp/extism.tar.gz
tar -xzf /tmp/extism.tar.gz -C /tmp ; mv /tmp/extism .

./extism call HTTPRequestingPlugin.wasm httpget --allow-host '*' --wasi
