HTTPLab is an interactive terminal-based web server that lets developers inspect incoming HTTP requests and forge custom responses in real time. It runs as a CLI tool with a TUI for editing status codes, headers, delays, and response bodies on the fly.

Use cases

• inspect incoming http requests during development
• mock http endpoints with custom responses
• test how clients handle different status codes and headers
• simulate slow responses with configurable delays
• debug webhooks by capturing and replaying requests
• forge http responses without writing server code

When to choose

• you need a quick local mock HTTP server with an interactive UI
• you want to inspect raw HTTP requests from clients or webhooks
• you're testing client behavior against arbitrary status codes, headers, or delays

When to avoid

• you need a production web server
• you require scripted or automated mocking in CI pipelines
• you need a graphical web-based interface rather than a terminal UI
