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 </4.0/IEdgeInsights/common/README.html>`_ of eii_libs_installer.

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

  .. code-block:: sh

       ./generate_testserver_cert.sh test-server-ip

* 
  Update no_proxy to connect to the RestDataExport server:

  .. code-block:: sh

       export no_proxy=$no_proxy,<HOST_IP>

Starting HttpTestServer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


* 
  Run the following command to start the HttpTestServer:

  .. code-block:: sh

       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>

  .. code-block:: sh

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

    For Helm Usecase:

  .. code-block:: sh

       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:

  .. code-block:: sh

       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.
