💅 dummyhttp(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute

okay bestie so picture this: you need a lil HTTP server, like right now, and you do NOT have the energy to write a whole app. enter dummyhttp, your new main character. it's from the General Commands Manual section (iykyk) and it's genuinely so simple it's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

dummyhttp — the super simple HTTP server that replies with a fixed body and a fixed response code. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dummyhttp [-q|--quiet] [-v|--verbose]... [-p|--port] [-H|--headers]
[-c|--code] [-b|--body] [-i|--interface] [-d|--delay]
[--print-completions] [--print-manpage] [--tls-cert] [--tls-key]
[-h|--help] [-V|--version]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Super simple HTTP server that replies with a fixed body and a fixed response code.

no cap, that's the entire description. it does one thing and it does it flawlessly. obsessed. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -q, --quiet — be quiet. like, log nothing at all. shhh 🤫
  • -v, --verbose — be verbose, bestie: log the data of incoming AND outgoing requests. and if you pass it twice it'll also log the body data. double the -v, double the tea ☕
  • -p, --port <PORT> [default: 8080] — the port on which to listen. 8080 unless you say otherwise 💅
  • -H, --headers <HEADERS> — headers to send (format: key:value)
  • -c, --code <CODE> [default: 200] — the HTTP status code to send. 200 = living your best life, but you do you 👑
  • -b, --body <BODY> [default: dummyhttp] — the HTTP body to send. literally defaults to the string dummyhttp, adorable.

it supports Tera-based templating (https://tera.netlify.app/docs/) with a few additional functions over the default built-ins:

  • uuid() — generate a random UUID
  • lorem(words) — generate words lorem ipsum words

example, fr fr:

dummyhttp -b "Hello {{ uuid() }}, it's {{ now() | date(format="%Y") }} {{ lorem(words=5)}}"
  • -i, --interface <INTERFACE> [default: 0.0.0.0] — interface to bind to. 0.0.0.0 out of the box 🫶
  • -d, --delay <DELAY> [default: 0] — delay in milliseconds before sending the response, in milliseconds. yes it says milliseconds twice, and yes we respect it 😭
  • --print-completions <shell> — generate a completion file for a shell

possible values:

  • bash
  • elvish
  • fish
  • powershell
  • zsh
  • --print-manpage — generate man page (meta, I know, we love a self-aware icon)
  • --tls-cert <TLS_CERT> — TLS certificate to use 🔐
  • --tls-key <TLS_KEY> — TLS private key to use
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h)
  • -V, --version — print version
