Test Server

A simple server project for testing connections using different protocols. It runs a server listening on different ports using HTTP, TCP and UDP protocols.

Features

• Lightweight and easy to set up
• Available in docker image
• Suitable for local development and testing
• Examples provided for running it in kubernetes cluster
• When running within k8s and proper env vars set, it returns name of pod which answered the request

Getting Started

Installation

git clone https://github.com/rahulait/test-server.git
cd test-server
make build

To build docker image and push to dockerhub, use:

DOCKER_USER=<dockerhub-username> make release

Usage

./test-server

One can also use pre-built docker image.

docker run -it rahulait/test-server:latest

The server will start listening on following ports:

Port	Protocol
80	HTTP
8080	HTTP
8989	HTTP
9090	HTTP
4343	TCP
4545	TCP
5656	TCP
7070	UDP
7272	UDP
7474	UDP

Connecting to TCP Port

echo 1 | nc -w1 <server-ip> <tcp-port>

# Example:
echo 1 | nc -w1 172.232.174.244 4343
{"type":"tcp","host":"172.232.174.244:4343","serverPort":":4343"}

Connecting to HTTP Port

curl <server-ip>:<http-port>

# Example:
curl 172.232.174.244:80
{"type":"http","host":"172.232.174.244","serverPort":":80","path":"/","method":"GET","headers":{"Accept":["*/*"],"User-Agent":["curl/8.5.0"]}}

Connecting to UDP Port

echo 1 | nc -u -w1 <server-ip> <udp-port>

# Example:
echo 1 | nc -u -w1 172.232.174.244 7070
{"type":"udp","host":"[::]:7070","serverPort":":7070"}
