NAME

WWW::Webrobot::StupidHTTPD - A simple HTTP daemon for tests

SYNOPSIS

# create and start the daemon
my $daemon = WWW::Webrobot::StupidHTTPD -> new();
$daemon -> start($server_func, fork_daemon => 1);

# do anything else, e.g. run a client that accesses the daemon
$config .= "names=application=" . $daemon -> server_url() . "\n";
my $webrobot = WWW::Webrobot -> new($config);
my $exit = $webrobot -> run($test_plan);

# stop the daemon
$daemon -> stop();

DESCRIPTION

Start and stop a daemon. Can fork!

METHODS

$wr = WWW::Webrobot -> new( %parameters );

debug         switch to debug mode
timout        timout (terminate) for the daemon in seconds

$wr -> start($func, %parameters)

Start a daemon. $func is the servers job to do on any request, see t/get.t for the syntax. Parameters:

timeout       The timout for the server
fork_daemon   Require the daemon to be forked:
              forked:     work as client (server is forked off)
              non-forked: work as server

Returns the pid of the currently started server (only if server is forked off).

$wr -> server_url

The url where you can access the recently started daemon.

This method makes only sense iff you forked the server off.

$wr -> stop( @stop_pids )

Stop the desired daemons or all if no list is given. This is done by creating a user agent and requesting an url containing shutdown.

This method makes only sense iff you forked the server off.
