HttPlaceholder is a cross-platform .NET Core application that intercepts incoming HTTP requests and returns mock responses. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing HttPlaceholder on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to clone the HttPlaceholder repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder.git
This will clone the repository to your current working directory.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the src directory and run the following command:
dotnet build
This will build the HttPlaceholder application.
After the build is complete, navigate to the bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1 directory and run the following command to run HttPlaceholder:
dotnet HttPlaceholder.dll
You should see a message indicating that HttPlaceholder is running.
To test HttPlaceholder, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000/api/mocks. This should display a JSON response indicating that there are no mock responses defined.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and tested HttPlaceholder on OpenBSD. You can now create mock responses and use HttPlaceholder to intercept incoming HTTP requests for testing purposes.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
