HTTPBin

Httpbin is a lightweight HTTP request and response testing service used to inspect, debug, and validate HTTP-based applications and APIs. It allows developers and DevOps engineers to analyze request data such as headers, parameters, authentication, and payloads by echoing them back in the response.

Features of Httpbin:

• Supports testing of common HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH.
• Displays request headers, query parameters, and request body for debugging.
• Simulates different HTTP status codes for error and success testing.
• Useful for API development, client testing, and learning HTTP concepts.
• Can be accessed via browser, curl, Postman, or integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

To check if Httpbin is running and accessible, run the following command:

 Run the container: $docker run -d \
  --name httpbin \
  -p 8080:80 \
  kennethreitz/httpbin

$curl http://localhost:8080
