Httpbin

About Httpbin

Httpbin is an HTTP request and response testing service. It exposes endpoints for testing different HTTP methods, authentication schemes, and status codes, as well as endpoints for inspecting request and response data such as headers and caching behavior.

It also provides utilities for returning responses in different data formats, generating dynamic and random data, creating/reading/deleting cookies, returning images in different formats, handling redirects, and echoing back arbitrary request data. It includes a sample HTML form that posts to one of its endpoints, and can be run locally via a Docker image.
