py_localhost

Local server

Local server based on python-hyper/h2.

How to run the server

Python 3.5+ required.

• Install hyper h2 python module. python3 -m pip install h2

TLS server

• The code is based the example from hyper h2 server.
• Have the cert/key ready. The script now using ../resources/unittests.crt, you can either just run the script within this directory, which will find the certificates and key from the related path, or you can use your own and change the code coordinately.
• Run python. python3 ./server.py.

Echo

• Minor changed based on the example to response the headers of requests back within the headers from /echo.
• To test the server runs correctly, you can do curl -k -v -H "foo:bar" https://localhost:3443/echo and check the result.

Download test

• To test download, when :path is /downloadTest, server will response a repeated string with length self.download_test_length, which is 2,500,000,000 now. It will be repeats of sting "This is CRT HTTP test."
• To test the server runs correctly, you can do curl -k -v -H "foo:bar" https://localhost:3443/downloadTest and check the result.

Slow Connection Test

• Simulate a slow connection when :path is /slowConnTest. The speed is controlled by out_bytes_per_second. Default speed is 900 B/s, which will send 900 bytes of data and wait a sec to send new 900 bytes of data.

Upload test

• To test upload, when :method is POST or PUT, server will response the length received from response body
• To test the server runs correctly, you can do curl -k -X POST -F'data=@upload_test.txt' https://localhost:3443/upload_test where upload_test.txt is file to upload.

Non-TLS server

• The code is based the non-tls example from hyper h2 server.
• Run python. python3 ./non_tls_server.py.
• To test the server runs correctly, you can do curl -v --http2-prior-knowledge http://localhost:3280 and check the result.
