HTTP Request & Response Service, Mock HTTP

The HttpLive is a tool for API designers, Proxy, mobile and web application developers to develop and test their applications faster without being dependent on any server or backend applications.

HttpLive has a built-in user interface. Therefore, you can do all the configurations you need on this UI, and with dynamic URL (Routing) definitions you can specify your own JSON return types for your applications.

You can share the key-value database (httplive.db) with your teammates, easily back up or store it in the any cloud storage.

Load balancing, Round-robin operations can be operated easily with multi-port mode.

With the support of HttpLive you; we can make it more useful without compromising on simple usage and increase the productivity of our development and testing environments.

Installation

go get github.com/gencebay/httplive

With this command you can add the httplive application to the path you specify in the Go environment. This way you can run the application from the command line.

Make sure your PATH includes the $GOPATH/bin directory so your commands can be easily used with help (-h) flag:

httplive -h

Arguments

--dbpath, -d

Fullpath of the httplive.db with forward slash. If not present, default db name (httplive-1a.db) will be used.

--ports, -p

Hosting ports can be array comma separated string <5003,5004> to host multiple endpoint. First value of the array is the default port.

HttpLive creates a key-value database for the URLs you define. Here the port value is used as a bucket name for the keys. When working with a single port, the data is associated with this port as a keys. When you specify multiple ports, the first value of the array is selected as the default port, and the other ports use the data specified for the default port.

For httplive application running with port 5003:

GET/api/guideline/mobiletoken

this key will be stored in the bucket 5003. Therefor if you running app as single port with 5004 you can not access the keys of 5003 port. You can use multi-port host to overcome this situation.

Docker Build & Run

docker build -t local-httplive .

docker run -it -p 5003:5003 -v httpfs:/src/app local-httplive

Compiling the UI into the Go binary

go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
go-bindata -pkg "lib" -o "./lib/bindata.go" public/...

Todo

Tests

Upload a database file from the web interface.

httplive's Issues

Support for all HTTP methods

There are couple of additional HTTP methods not covered in this application.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods

Example of that is CORS under Angular 4/5 web app which requires OPTIONS request to make POST.
more info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

Statically link your binary

The current release is dynamically linked against GNU libc so it doesn't work in distros that use a different libc.

Editor Autosave not working

The editor is not autosaving when making changes to the response json. I can create, edit, and delete endpoints. I just can't change the response body.

There are no errors in the console, but there are a couple of warnings.

jsoneditor.min.js:30 Unknown option "enableBasicAutocompletion". This option will be ignored
jsoneditor.min.js:30 Unknown option "savingProgress". This option will be ignored
jsoneditor.min.js:30 Unknown option "enableBasicAutocompletion". This option will be ignored
jsoneditor.min.js:30 Unknown option "savingProgress". This option will be ignored

I can post the full stack trace if needed.

go version go1.9.2 darwin/amd64
httplive version 0.0.1

I'm starting to dig into the code, but just wanted to see if there was anything familiar with this problem.

f.Size undefined error in go get command

hey guys
I'm trying to get httplive but something goes wrong:

$ go get -u github.com/gencebay/httplive
# github.com/gencebay/httplive/lib
../go/src/github.com/gencebay/httplive/lib/utils.go:91: f.Size undefined (type *multipart.FileHeader has no field or method Size)

go get failed.

When I go get github.com/gencebay/httplive, it failed with:

# github.com/gencebay/httplive/lib
go/src/github.com/gencebay/httplive/lib/controller.go:106:13: c.ShouldBindJSON undefined (type 
*gin.Context has no field or method ShouldBindJSON)
go/src/github.com/gencebay/httplive/lib/controller.go:122:13: c.ShouldBindJSON undefined (type 
*gin.Context has no field or method ShouldBindJSON)

The first run will report an error, prompt httplive.db file does not exist

# ./httplive_linux_amd64 
open /home/travis/gopath/src/github.com/gencebay/httplive/httplive.db: no such file or directory

add feature export & load config file ?

thank u.

Header Editor

API sometimes depend on specific headers. It would be awesome to customize the request headers from the interface.

How To Save The Endpoint!!!

Hello,
i cant save. i cant see a button to save my JSON. i think icant see now. maybe it is at very visible place :)

how to save to see output.

Maybe nodejs is a better choice

at least easy for front-end developers.

Feature request

if there has a feature can group the apis will be wonderful.
