Boast

"I want track all requests, and replay it easily."

Usage

Install the boast package:

go get github.com/dcb9/boast

After installing, modify your server file

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"net/http/httptest"

	"github.com/dcb9/boast"
)

func main() {
	mux := http.NewServeMux()
	mux.HandleFunc("/", http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
	}))

-	// the old way
-	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux)
+	// the boast way
+	server := httptest.NewServer(mux)
+	addr, debugAddr := ":8080", ":8079"
+	boast.Serve(server, addr, debugAddr)
}

Then run your server:

go run server.go

First request your server as usual, then you can visit debug panel ( http://localhost:8079 )
