How to test http request sent from a plugin?

[r-ale...@tuta.io]

Hello

I started to develop a plugin what results in sending a http request to an external system.

It looks like logging with 'http-log' but sends another kind of data.

'http-log' plugin have specs using 'mockbin.org' to verify the request and i tried to make similar tests.

The problem is that 'http-log' specs "Pending: at the time of this change, mockbin.com's behavior with bins seems to be broken." (comment added six months ago https://github.com/Kong/kong/commit/09bed00d473abddeb7380ee575a405fa5cb2df5f)

I tried to make a bin, configure an api and a plugin, send a request to the bin and check the bin "/log" endpoint (like the tests do) and no logs was there.

Please suggest another approach to test http requests sent from a custom plugin.

Hi!

For our custom plugin development we actually run a local version of http://httpbin.org/ via docker:

docker run -d --name httpbin -p 666:8000 citizenstig/httpbin

This runs in our CI/CD environment and on our local vagrant box. Treat it kinda like a dependency like cassandra.

Relying on external services proofed to be quite a problem, because they are not as available as we want them to be.

Cheers
Ruwen
