NAME HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Apache - Plugin for local web file tests DESCRIPTION This plugin adds support for local web file test mode to HTTP::WebTest. In this mode Apache is started on a private/dynamic port with a configuration file in a temporary directory and HTTP::WebTest runs its tests against local web files using this temporary local instance of Apache. Data flow diagram for "HTTP::WebTest" using a local web file: -------------- --------------------- | | | | | Input | | Web page code | | parameters | | (Perl/HTML/etc.) | | | | | -------------- --------------------- | | | ----------------------------- | | V V ------------------------ ------------- | | | |---------->| Temporary Apache | | WebTest | | directories (htdocs, | | |<----------| conf, logs) | ------------- | | | ^ ------------------------ | | | ^ V | V | ------------ ---------------------- | | request | | | HTTP |------------>| Temporary local | | user | | instance of Apache | | agent |<------------| | | | response ---------------------- ------------ RESTRICTIONS / BUGS Local file test mode unlikely to work on Win32 systems (at least it have never been tested by authors there and nobody confirmed it to work). AUTHORS Richard Anderson <richard@richard-anderson.org> wrote HTTP::WebTest 1.xx, using some ideas from the CPAN Monkeywrench module. Ilya Martynov <ilya@martynov.org> implemented the plug-in concept, the extended API and completely rewrote HTTP::WebTest. Later this plugin module was removed from HTTP::WebTest distribution and released separately. Please don't email authors directly.
