httpgrok v0.1.0

httpgrok

This provides a node require hook that will record all HTTP traffic.

Use

The module can be pulled into your project by simply running:

npm install --save-dev httpgrok

Once installed, alter the line used to execute mocha - typically the npm test target in your package.json file so it requires the hook:

node -r httgrok ...

Output

When used as a hook in a process the hook will start observing any requests made by your code the the responses it receives - then on process exit these exchanges will be written to stderr. For example, node code issuing a GET request to "https://reqres.in/api/unknown/23" would output:

[
  {
    "request": {
      "url": "GET /api/unknown/23",
      "headers": { "Host": "reqres.in" },
      "host": "reqres.in",
      "port": 443
    },
    "response": {
      "statusCode": 404,
      "body": {}
    }
  }
]

The JSON that is output is the same declarative syntax as is understood by the unit testing assertions within the unexpected-mitm plugins and their programmatic wrapper httpcetion.
