mock-http

mocking nodejs http requests including expected responses

features:

• replace directly for require('http')
• use together with mockery
• pass the expected response as parameter
• very helpful when testing libraries that use http.request or http.get
• works with buffers also

usage: (with mockery)

var expect = require('chai').expect;

var mockery = require('mockery');
var mockHttp = require('mock_http');

var response = 
  {
    statusCode : 200,
    statusMessage : 'OK', // as message body
    data : require('fs').readFileSync('any.xml') // or as buffer 
  };

mockery.registerMock('http', mockHttp(response));
mockery.enable({warnOnReplace: false, warnOnUnregistered: false, useCleanCache: true});

// our 'lib/any' has a http.get inside, that gets replaces with our mockHttp
require('lib/any')({}, function(err,result)
{
  	expect(err).to.be.null;

  	mockery.disable();
  	mockery.deregisterMock('http');

	return false;
});

TODO:

• complete all http_client features
