Create a fake request to use in testing

Create a fake request to use in testing

This function creates a new request for a specific resource defined by a URL. It mimics the format of the requests provided through httpuv, meaning that it can be used in place for the requests send to the before-request, request, and after-request handlers. This is only provided so that handlers can be tested without having to start up a server.

fake_request( url, method = "get", appLocation = "", content = "", headers = list(), ... )

Arguments

  • url: A complete url for the resource the request should ask for
  • method: The request type (get, post, put, etc). Defaults to "get"
  • appLocation: A string giving the first part of the url path that should be stripped from the path
  • content: The content of the request, either a raw vector or a string
  • headers: A list of name-value pairs that defines the request headers
  • ...: Additional name-value pairs that should be added to the request

Returns

A Rook-compliant environment

Examples

req <- fake_request( 'http://www.my-fake-website.com/path/to/a/query/?key=value&key2=value2', content = 'Some important content' ) # Get the main address of the URL req[['SERVER_NAME']] # Get the query string req[['QUERY_STRING']] # ... etc. # Cleaning up connections rm(req) gc()
