My Macintosh application makes HTTP requests from third-party servers
that are beyond my control. So, I've designed in lots of error
recovery, but in order to test it I need to simulate poor responses.
For example, to test my timeout algorithms I need to simulate a long-
delayed server response.
It seems a good solution would be to set up a dumb little web server
on my Mac, or another Mac on the network, and have my app send
requests to it. I know lots of perl and found this tutorial entitled
"CGI Programming with Apache and Perl on Mac OS X":
http://www.cgi101.com/learn/connect/mac.html
Before embarking down this path, I was wondering if someone could
confirm that this is the correct (easiest) way to go. The link above
seems to date back to Jaguar. Is there a more recent resource I
should read instead?
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
