SCRIPTS
       httest is script based. The following script examples can be but into a
       scripte i.e. sample.htt and can be called like

       httest sample.htt

SIMPLE SCRIPT
       Get a page and do expect return code 200 OK.

       CLIENT
       _REQ www.google.ch 80
       __GET /search?q=apache HTTP/1.1
       __Host: www.google.ch
       __
       _EXPECT headers "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
       _WAIT
       END

CUT AND PAST SCRIPT
       Cut  and	 past from a HTTP stream, i.e we cut the apache host to access
       it in the second request.

       CLIENT
       _REQ www.google.ch 80
       __GET /search?q=apache HTTP/1.1
       __Host: www.google.ch
       __
       _MATCH body '\<a href="http://([^\/]*)/" class=l\>Welcome! - The \<em\>Apache\</em\> HTTP Server Project' APACHE_HOST
       _WAIT

       _REQ $APACHE_HOST 80
       __GET / HTTP/1.1
       __Host: $APACHE_HOST
       __
       _WAIT
       END

CLIENT SERVER SCRIPT
       We can hold client and server  in  the  same  host.  Actually  multiple
       client  and  multiple  server.	Very useful to test forward or reverse
       proxies. Or a webapplication which communicat itself with  third	 party
       servers i.e. mail server.

       This is a very basic selfcontained test you can run on any maschine.

       CLIENT
       _REQ localhost 8080
       __GET /foo HTTP/1.1
       __Host: localhost
       __
       _WAIT
       END

       SERVER 8080
       _RES
       _EXPECT "/foo"
       _WAIT
       __HTTP/1.1 200 OK
       __Content-Length: AUTO
       __
       __Hello World
       END

SSL SCRIPT
       Of course SSL do also work with httest, just put "SSL:" before port.

       CLIENT
       _REQ localhost SSL:8080
       __GET /foo HTTP/1.1
       __Host: localhost
       __
       _WAIT
       END

       SERVER SSL:8080
       _RES
       _EXPECT "/foo"
       _WAIT
       __HTTP/1.1 200 OK
       __Content-Length: AUTO
       __
       __Hello World
       END
