POBox is a eary-to-run web server which will accept and log all incoming requests.
POBox provides a simple solution for mocking API requests and responses, as well as a method for loggin web hooks and integrations.
pobox is still in progress, and does't have any releases. For now, run at your own risk
POBox is a Golang application. As such, you will need to Go installed in order to run the application.
$ go install github.com/clagraff/pobox
$ poboxAfter that, use cURL to see it in action:
$ curl localhost:8080
$ curl -X POST -d 'this is data!' localhost:8080/whatever/route/i/want
$ curl -X OPTIONS localhost:8080/fiiz/buzz?anything=hereUsing the pobox <route-file> argument, you can specify a .json or .yaml
file which supplies pre-defined routes.
These routes specify a regex pattern for which URIs and methods to react to, and supply response information.
This is useful in the event a web-hook requires a specific response back.
Here is an example .yaml route file:
# routes.yaml
-
request:
uri: /[fF]izz/buz{1,3} # regex pattern for matching URIs
method: get|post # regex pattern for matching request methods
response:
body: | # Multi-line string response
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Response</h1>
<p>this is my response</p>
</body>
</html>$ pobox routes.yaml &
$ curl http://localhost/hello/world
$ curl http://localhost/Fizz/buzz
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Response</h1>
<p>this is my response</p>
</body>
</html>
