Test how well your app handles errors returned by RESTful API Services.

This basic NodeJs app allows you to force any Response Code with the response delay (in seconds) of your choosing.

This exists solely because Test Insane took down their RestFul Test Endpoints tool, upon which I'd grown quite dependent. This is a crude approximation of that service.

Dependencies: this was written under Node version v4.4.2 and npm version 2.15.0.

After downloading/cloning this repo install its dependencies from within a terminal:

$ npm install

$ node index
Listening on port 3080

Start server on a different port

$ node index 8089
Listening on port 8089

Test that the service is running as expected by call the status endpoint via curl or in your web browser:

$ curl localhost:3080/status/302/6

Returns response code 302 after a 6 second delay.

The server echoes each request received. (TODO: include timestamp)

$ node index
Listening on port 3080
Request => (Response Code: 301, Delay: 0 seconds)

• Method GET: Get endpoints responds with HTTP Status Code and empty content.
• Method POST: Post endpoints responds with HTTP Status Code and data sent by the client as part of request. (Not available yet)

Detailed individual endpoint information is given bellow.

• Get /list
• Get /random
• GET /status

Note: Where applicable delay value must be between 0 and 600, otherwise response returns immediately. "0" is default, meaning no delay.
