Project description
Generic-Server
Python generic TCP/UDP server implementation, with configurable request-response modules (e.g, 'ok', 'reflect', 'json').
Status: Beta
Authors: Carsten König
Purpose
Sometimes you need a TCP or UDP server that answers with a specific strings to a given request. For testing different network components in a lab environment, some components in the network might not be available. In order to simulate their presence, Generic-Server answers TCP or UDP string requests using modules either with pre-defined responses or simulated behaviour.
Installation
pip install generic-server
How to use
In order to start a Generic-Server, start the server with the desired config:
genericserver <protocol> <port> <responder>
protocol: either TCP or UDP
port: port to listen on
responder: one out of 'ok', 'reflect', 'manual' or 'json'
ok: Always sends 'ok' as an answer.
reflect: Reflects the request string back to the sender.
manual: Prompts the user to manually enter an answer.
json: Get answers from a json document. For nested json, a delimiter
can be chosen (default ':').
Example:
{"test": {
"a": "1",
"b": 2
}
}
Request: test:a
Response: 1
