Hello all! [First of all this question isn't only HAProxy specific, but can be extended to any HTTP server (including Apache, Nginx, and any other web application out there); however I think it is especially important for HAProxy given how many HTTP-routing / mangling capabilities it has.]
I have a quite complex HAProxy configuration and I want to make sure that while changing some ACL's and rules I don't break something else. Therefore I set out to find a tool that allows me to "unit test" an HTTP server (thus including HAProxy). And to my surprise I didn't find one... Obviously there are many "framework" unit test platforms out-there, each tailored for the underlying framework, such as Django, Flask, Rails, Spring, Go-lang, etc.; however nothing "generic" that can test a web server by plain HTTP requests. So my question to the HAProxy community is if anyone knows / uses a generic HTTP unit testing framework. (I have already written a few custom Bash scripts that given an URL create a file on disk, and given it resides in a Git repository, I can easily `git diff ./tests/responses` to see if anything changed, but this is too "barbaric"...) :) Thanks, Ciprian.
