uhm_server_new ()

UhmServer *
uhm_server_new (void);

Creates a new UhmServer with default properties.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_run ()

void
uhm_server_run (UhmServer *self);

Runs the mock server, binding to a loopback TCP/IP interface and preparing a HTTPS server which is ready to accept requests. The TCP/IP address and port number are chosen randomly out of the loopback addresses, and are exposed as “address” and “port” once this function has returned. A UhmResolver (exposed as “resolver”) is set as the default GResolver while the server is running.

The server is started in a worker thread, so this function returns immediately and the server continues to run in the background. Use uhm_server_stop() to shut it down.

This function always succeeds.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_stop ()

void
uhm_server_stop (UhmServer *self);

Stops a mock server started by calling uhm_server_run(). This shuts down the server's worker thread and unbinds it from its TCP/IP socket.

This unloads any trace file loaded by calling uhm_server_load_trace() (or its asynchronous counterpart). It also resets the set of domain names loaded into the “resolver”.

This function always succeeds.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_start_trace ()

void
uhm_server_start_trace (UhmServer *self,
                        const gchar *trace_name,
                        GError **error);

Starts a mock server which follows the trace file of filename trace_name in the “trace-directory” directory. See uhm_server_start_trace_full() for further documentation.

This function has undefined behaviour if “trace-directory” is NULL.

On failure, error will be set and the UhmServer state will remain unchanged. See uhm_server_start_trace_full() for details of the error domains used.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_start_trace_full ()

void
uhm_server_start_trace_full (UhmServer *self,
                             GFile *trace_file,
                             GError **error);

Convenience function to start logging to or reading from the given trace_file , depending on the values of “enable-logging” and “enable-online”.

If “enable-logging” is TRUE, a log handler will be set up to redirect all client network activity into the given trace_file . If trace_file already exists, it will be overwritten.

If “enable-online” is FALSE, the given trace_file is loaded using uhm_server_load_trace() and then a mock server is started using uhm_server_run().

On failure, error will be set and the UhmServer state will remain unchanged. A GIOError will be set if logging is enabled (“enable-logging”) and there is a problem writing to the trace file; or if a trace needs to be loaded and there is a problem reading from the trace file.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_end_trace ()

void
uhm_server_end_trace (UhmServer *self);

Convenience function to finish logging to or reading from a trace file previously passed to uhm_server_start_trace() or uhm_server_start_trace_full().

If “enable-online” is FALSE, this will shut down the mock server (as if uhm_server_stop() had been called).

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_load_trace ()

void
uhm_server_load_trace (UhmServer *self,
                       GFile *trace_file,
                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                       GError **error);

Synchronously loads the given trace_file of network messages, ready to simulate a network conversation by matching requests against the file and returning the associated responses. Call uhm_server_run() to start the mock server afterwards.

Loading the trace file may be cancelled from another thread using cancellable .

On error, error will be set and the state of the UhmServer will not change. A GIOError will be set if there is a problem reading the trace file.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_load_trace_async ()

void
uhm_server_load_trace_async (UhmServer *self,
                             GFile *trace_file,
                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                             GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                             gpointer user_data);

Asynchronous version of uhm_server_load_trace(). In callback , call uhm_server_load_trace_finish() to complete the operation.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_load_trace_finish ()

void
uhm_server_load_trace_finish (UhmServer *self,
                              GAsyncResult *result,
                              GError **error);

Finishes an asynchronous operation started by uhm_server_load_trace_async().

On error, error will be set and the state of the UhmServer will not change. See uhm_server_load_trace() for details on the error domains used.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_unload_trace ()

void
uhm_server_unload_trace (UhmServer *self);

Unloads the current trace file of network messages, as loaded by uhm_server_load_trace() or uhm_server_load_trace_async().

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_filter_ignore_parameter_values ()

gulong
uhm_server_filter_ignore_parameter_values
                               (UhmServer *self,
                                const gchar * const *parameter_names);

Install a “compare-messages” filter function which will override the default comparison function to one which ignores differences in the values of the given query parameter_names . The named parameters must still be present in the query, however.

The filter will remain in place for the lifetime of the UhmServer, until uhm_server_compare_messages_remove_filter() is called with the returned filter ID.

Note that currently only one of the installed comparison functions will be used. This may change in future.

Since: 0.5.0

uhm_server_compare_messages_remove_filter ()

void
uhm_server_compare_messages_remove_filter
                               (UhmServer *self,
                                gulong filter_id);

Remove a “compare-messages” filter function installed previously by calling something like uhm_server_filter_ignore_parameter_values().

It is an error to call this function with an invalid filter_id .

Since: 0.5.0

uhm_server_received_message_chunk ()

void
uhm_server_received_message_chunk (UhmServer *self,
                                   const gchar *message_chunk,
                                   goffset message_chunk_length,
                                   GError **error);

Indicates to the mock server that a single new line of a message was received from the real server. The message line may be appended to the current trace file if logging is enabled (“enable-logging” is TRUE), adding a newline character at the end. If logging is disabled but online mode is enabled (“enable-online” is TRUE), the message line will be compared to the next expected line in the existing trace file. Otherwise, this function is a no-op.

On failure, error will be set and the UhmServer state will remain unchanged apart from the parse state machine, which will remain in the state reached after parsing message_chunk . A G_IO_ERROR will be returned if writing to the trace file failed. If in comparison mode and the received message chunk corresponds to an unexpected message in the trace file, a UHM_SERVER_ERROR will be returned.

Since: 0.1.0

uhm_server_received_message_chunk_with_direction ()

void
uhm_server_received_message_chunk_with_direction
                               (UhmServer *self,

GTlsCertificate *
uhm_server_set_default_tls_certificate
                               (UhmServer *self);

Sets the value of the “tls-certificate” property to the default TLS certificate built in to libuhttpmock. This default certificate is not signed by any certificate authority, and contains minimal metadata details. It may be used by clients which have no special certificate requirements; clients which have special requirements should construct a custom GTlsCertificate and pass it to uhm_server_set_tls_certificate().

Set the domain names which are expected to have requests made of them by the client code interacting with this UhmServer. This is a convenience method which calls uhm_resolver_add_A() on the server’s UhmResolver for each of the domain names listed in domain_names . It associates them with the server’s current IP address, and automatically updates the mappings if the IP address or resolver change.

Note that this will reset all records on the server’s UhmResolver, replacing all of them with the provided domain_names .

It is safe to add further domain names to the UhmResolver in a callback for the “notify” signal for “resolver”; that signal is emitted after the resolver is cleared and these domain_names are added.

enum UhmServerError

Error codes for UhmServer operations.

The “address” property

  “address”                  gchar *

Address of the local mock server if it's running, or NULL otherwise. This will be non-NULL between calls to uhm_server_run() and uhm_server_stop(). The address is a physical IP address, e.g. 127.0.0.1.

This should not normally need to be passed into client code under test, unless the code references IP addresses specifically. The mock server runs a DNS resolver which automatically redirects client requests for known domain names to this address (“resolver”).

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

Since: 0.1.0

The “enable-logging” property

  “enable-logging”           gboolean

TRUE if network traffic should be logged to a trace file (specified by calling uhm_server_start_trace()). This operates independently of whether traffic is online or being handled locally by the mock server. Use this in conjunction with “enable-online” to either log online traffic, or replay logged traffic locally.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 0.1.0

The “enable-online” property

  “enable-online”            gboolean

TRUE if network traffic should reach the Internet as normal; FALSE to redirect it to the local mock server. Use this in conjunction with “enable-logging” to either log online traffic, or replay logged traffic locally.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 0.1.0

The “port” property

  “port”                     guint

Port of the local mock server if it's running, or 0 otherwise. This will be non-0 between calls to uhm_server_run() and uhm_server_stop().

It is intended that this port be passed into the client code under test, to substitute for the default HTTPS port (443) which it would otherwise use.

Flags: Read

Default value: 0

Since: 0.1.0

The “resolver” property

  “resolver”                 UhmResolver *

Mock resolver used to redirect HTTP requests from specified domain names to the local mock server instance. This will always be set while the server is running (between calls to uhm_server_run() and uhm_server_stop()), and is NULL otherwise.

Use the resolver specified in this property to add domain names which are expected to be requested by the current trace. Domain names not added to the resolver will be rejected by the mock server. The set of domain names in the resolver will be reset when uhm_server_stop() is called.

Flags: Read

Since: 0.1.0

The “tls-certificate” property

  “tls-certificate”          GTlsCertificate *

TLS certificate for the mock server to use when serving HTTPS pages. If this is non-NULL, the server will always use HTTPS. If it is NULL, the server will always use HTTP. The TLS certificate may be changed after constructing the UhmServer, but changes to the property will not take effect until the next call to uhm_server_run().

A certificate and private key may be generated by executing:

GTlsCertificate by calling g_tls_certificate_new_from_files().

Alternatively, a default GTlsCertificate which wraps a dummy certificate (not signed by any certificate authority) may be set by calling uhm_server_set_default_tls_certificate(). This may be used as the “tls-certificate” if the code under test has no specific requirements of the certificate used by the mock server it's tested against.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 0.1.0

The “trace-directory” property

  “trace-directory”          GFile *

Directory relative to which all trace files specified in calls to uhm_server_start_trace() will be resolved. This is not used for any other methods, but must be non-NULL if uhm_server_start_trace() is called.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 0.1.0

               SoupClientContext *actual_client,
               gpointer           user_data)

Emitted whenever the mock server must compare two SoupMessages for equality; e.g. when in the testing or comparison modes. Test code may connect to this signal and implement a handler which checks custom properties of the messages. The default handler compares the URI and method of the messages, but no headers and not the message bodies.

Signal handlers should return TRUE if the messages match; and FALSE otherwise. The first signal handler executed when this signal is emitted wins.

Flags: Run Last

Since: 0.1.0

The “handle-message” signal

gboolean
user_function (UhmServer         *self,
               SoupMessage       *message,
               SoupClientContext *client,
               gpointer           user_data)

Emitted whenever the mock server is running and receives a request from a client. Test code may connect to this signal and implement a handler which builds and returns a suitable response for a given message. The default handler reads a request–response pair from the current trace file, matches the requests and then returns the given response. If the requests don't match, an error is raised.

Signal handlers should return TRUE if they have handled the request and set an appropriate response; and FALSE otherwise.

Flags: Run Last
