yaman/timeout

A very simple timeout stub for http and tcp

timeout is written to satisfy tcp and http based timeout testing needs. It works as a stub server in replacement of your application's external tcp/http dependency.

Briefly speaking, you can run a tcp/http stub server in seconds.

HTTP

• Respond with status http:yourhost/yourresource?status=x where x is an integer number between 200 and 599:

  • https://gotimeout.herokuapp.com/yourpreciousresource?status=201
  • https://gotimeout.herokuapp.com/yourpreciousresource?status=302
  • https://gotimeout.herokuapp.com/yourpreciousresource?status=401

• Sleep before responding http:yourhost/yourresource?sleep=x x is in milliseconds:

  • https://gotimeout.herokuapp.com/yourpreciousresource?sleep=1000 --> wait for 1 second before responding
  • https://gotimeout.herokuapp.com/yourpreciousresource?sleep=5000 --> wait for 5 second before responding

TCP

• Listen but do not respond, from port :5501
• Listen and respond with empty string, from port :5502
• Listen and respond with empty string after client sends data, :5503
• Listen and respond with malformed string, from port :5504
• Listen and respond with malformed string after client sends data, from port :5505
• Listen and respond with empty string every 5 seconds, from port :5506
• Listen and respond with empty string every 30 seconds, from port :5507

Run with Docker prebuild image

You just need to run following command provided that Docker is up and running on your local machine;

for http and exposing port 5000

sudo docker run -p 5000:5000 -e PROTO=http -e PORT=5000 yaman/timeout

for tcp

sudo docker run -p 5500-5600:5500-5600 -e PROTO=tcp yaman/timeout
