HTTP test server accepting GET POST requests

Question

I need a live test server that accepts my requests for basic information via HTTP GET and also allows me to POST  even if it s really not doing anything   This is entirely for test purposes   A good example is here  It easily accepts GET requests  but I need one that accepts POST requests as well   Does anyone know of a server that I can send dummy test messages too

i don t konw why all of the answers here make a very simple work very hard  when there is a request on HTTP  actually a client will send a HTTP MESSAGE to server  read about what is a HTTP MESSAGE  and you can make a server in just 2 simple step  1  install netcat  in many unix-based systems you have this already installed and if you have windows just google it   the installation process is really simple  you just need a nc exe file and then you should copy the path of this nc exe file to your path environmet variable and check if every think is ok with nc -h 2  make a server which is listening on localhost 12345  just type nc -l -p 12345 on your terminal and everything is done   in mac nc -l 12345 tnx Silvio Biasiol   now you have a server which is listening on http   localhost 12345 make a post request with axios post  http   localhost 12345     firstName   Fred     if you are a js develper or make your own xhr or make a form in a html file and submit it to server  sth like  lt form action  quot http   localhost 12345 quot  method  quot post quot  gt  or make a request with curl or wget or etc  and then check your terminal  a raw HTTP MESSAGE should be appear on your terminal and you can start your happy hacking

You can run the actual Ken Reitz s httpbin server locally  under docker or on bare metal   https   github com postmanlabs httpbin Run dockerized  docker pull kennethreitz httpbin docker run -p 80 80 kennethreitz httpbin  Run directly on your machine    install dependencies pip3 install gunicorn decorator httpbin werkzeug Flask flasgger brotlipy gevent meinheld six pyyaml     start the server gunicorn -b 0 0 0 0 8000 httpbin app -k gevent  Now you have your personal httpbin instance running on http   0 0 0 0 8000  visible to all of your LAN

If you need or want a simple HTTP server with the following   Can be run locally or in a network sealed from the public Internet Has some basic auth Handles POST requests  I built one on top of the excellent SimpleHTTPAuthServer already on PyPI  This adds handling of POST requests  https   github com arielampol SimpleHTTPAuthServerWithPOST Otherwise  all the other options publicly available are already so good and robust

http   requestb in was similar to the already mentioned tools and also had a very nice UI       RequestBin gives you a URL that will collect requests made to it and let you inspect them in a human-friendly way    Use RequestBin to see what your HTTP client is sending or to inspect and debug webhook requests    Though it has been discontinued as of Mar 21  2018       We have discontinued the publicly hosted version of RequestBin due to ongoing abuse that made it very difficult to keep the site up reliably  Please see instructions for setting up your own self-hosted instance

If you want a local test server that accepts any URL and just dumps the request to the console  you can use node   const http   require  http     const hostname    0 0 0 0   const port   3000   const server   http createServer  req  res    gt      console log   n  req method    req url       console log req headers      req on  data   function chunk        console log  BODY      chunk            res statusCode   200    res setHeader  Content-Type    text plain      res end  Hello World n         server listen port  hostname       gt      console log  Server running at http   localhost   port            Save it in a file  echo js  and run it as follows     node echo js Server running at http   localhost 3000    You can then submit data     curl -d   1 2 3   -XPOST http   localhost 3000 foo bar   which will be shown in the server s stdout   POST  foo bar   host   localhost 3000      user-agent    curl 7 54 1     accept            content-length    7      content-type    application x-www-form-urlencoded    BODY   1 2 3

You might don t need any web site for that  only open up the browser  press F12 to get access to developer tools   console  then in console write some JavaScript Code to do that   Here I share some ways to accomplish that   For GET request    Using jQuery     get  http   someurl status  messageid 597574445   function data  status       console log data  status           For POST request   1  Using jQuery   ajax   var url   http   someurl            api key    6136-bc16-49fb-bacb-802358           token1    Just for test           result        ajax             url  url            type   POST             data                api key  api key              token1  token1                         done function result                    console log  done successfuly   result              fail function error               console log error responseText  error                   Using jQuery  append and submit   var merchantId    AA86E           token    4107120133142729           url    https   payment com Index        var form     lt form id  send-by-post  method  post  action    url   gt                                   lt input id  token  type  hidden  name  token  value    merchantId    gt                                   lt input id  merchantId  name  merchantId  type  hidden  value    token    gt                                   lt button type  submit   gt Pay lt  button gt                       lt  div gt                   lt  form gt             body   append form           send-by-post   submit     Or   form  appendTo  body   submit       Using Pure JavaScript    var api key    73736-bc16-49fb-bacb-643e58       recipient    095552565       token1    4458   url    http   smspanel com send      var form     lt form id  send-by-post  method  post  action    url   gt                           lt input id  api key  type  hidden  name  api key  value    api key    gt                           lt input id  recipient  type  hidden  name  recipient   value    recipient    gt                           lt input id  token1  name  token1  type  hidden  value    token1    gt                           lt button type  submit   gt Send lt  button gt               lt  div gt           lt  form gt     document querySelector  body   insertAdjacentHTML  beforeend  form   document querySelector   send-by-post   submit       Or even using ASP Net   var url    https   Payment com index   Response Clear    var sb   new System Text StringBuilder     sb Append      sb AppendFormat      sb AppendFormat     url   sb AppendFormat      C668    sb AppendFormat      22720281459    sb Append      sb Append      sb Append      Response Write sb ToString     Response End       Note  Since I have backtick character     in my code the code format ruined  I have no idea how to correct it
