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

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

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

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

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
