HttpTestServer

HttpTestServer runs a simple HTTP test server with security being optional.

Prerequisites for Running the HttpTestServer

  • To install EII libs on bare metal, follow the README of eii_libs_installer.

  • Generate the certificates required to run the HTTP Test Server using the following command:

    ./generate_testserver_cert.sh test-server-ip

  • Update no_proxy to connect to the RestDataExport server:

    export no_proxy=$no_proxy,<HOST_IP>

Starting HttpTestServer

  • Run the following command to start the HttpTestServer:

    cd IEdgeInsights/tools/HttpTestServer
go run TestServer.go --dev_mode false --host <address of test server> --port <port of test server> --rdehost <address of Rest Data Export server> --rdeport <port of Rest Data Export server>

       Eg: go run TestServer.go --dev_mode false --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8082 --rdehost=localhost --rdeport=8087

For Helm Usecase:

    Eg: go run TestServer.go --dev_mode false --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8082 --rdehost=<maser_node_ip>--rdeport=31509 --client_ca_path ../../build/helm-eii/eii-deploy/Certificates/rootca/cacert.pem

    Note: server_cert.pem is valid for 365 days from the date of generation.

  • In PROD mode, you might see intermediate logs like this:

    http: TLS handshake error from 127.0.0.1:51732: EOF

    These logs are because of RestExport trying to check if the server is present by pinging it without using any certificates and can be ignored.
