rejocker 0.5

Configuration

rejocker is configured through a json formatted file defining endpoints. Each endpoint is defined with

• a path (and an optional path prefix)

• accepted HTTP methods

• expected and returned headers and bodies for each method

Th location of the configuration file is given to rejocker through the REJOCKER_DATA_SOURCE environment variable. (E.g. REJOCKER_DATA_SOURCE=/path/to/config.json)

An example of a configuration file is provided with the rejocker package in the data directory. If the REJOCKER_DATA_SOURCE environment variable is not set, the example file is used by default.
