HTTPTEST(1) Cyrus IMAP HTTPTEST(1)

NAME

httptest - Cyrus IMAP documentation

Interactive HTTP test program.

SYNOPSIS

httptest [ -t keyfile ] [ -p port ] [ -m mechanism ] [ -a userid ]


    [ -u userid ] [ -k num ] [ -l num ] [ -r realm ] [ -f file ]


    [ -n num ] [ -s ] [ -c ] [ -i ] [ -v ] [ -w passwd ] [ -o option=value ] hostname

DESCRIPTION

This is actually installed as a hard linked copy of imtest(1).

httptest is a utility that allows you to authenticate to a HTTP server and interactively issue requests to it. Once authenticated you may issue any HTTP request by simply typing it in. It is capable of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and handles encryption layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of an http server. Also those developing HTTP clients find it useful.

OPTIONS

Enable TLS. keyfile contains the TLS public and private keys. Specify "" to negotiate a TLS encryption layer but not use TLS authentication.

Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to http as defined in /etc/services.

Force httptest to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified, the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server is chosen. Specify one of Basic, Digest, NTLM, or Negotiate (GSS-SPNEGO).

Userid to use for authentication; defaults to the current user. This is the userid whose password or credentials will be presented to the server for verification.

Userid to use for authorization; defaults to the current user. This is the userid whose identity will be assumed after authentication.

Minimum protection layer required.

Maximum protection layer to use (0=none; 1=integrity; etc). For example if you are using the KERBEROS_V4 authentication mechanism specifying 0 will force imtest to not use any layer and specifying 1 will force it to use the integrity layer. By default the maximum supported protection layer will be used.

Specify the realm to use. Certain authentication mechanisms (e.g. DIGEST-MD5) may require one to specify the realm.

Pipe file into connection after authentication.

Number of authentication attempts; default = 1. The client will attempt to do SSL/TLS session reuse and/or fast reauth (e.g. DIGEST-MD5), if possible.

Enable HTTP over SSL (https).

Enable challenge prompt callbacks. This will cause the OTP mechanism to ask for the the one-time password instead of the secret pass-phrase (library generates the correct response).

Don't send an initial client response for SASL mechanisms, even if the protocol supports it.

Verbose. Print out more information than usual.

Password to use (if not supplied, we will prompt).

Set the SASL option to value.
