Here's a little something similar I whipped up using Flask (Python): import time from flask import Flask, make_response, request app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/<int:status_code>') def return_status(status_code): response = make_response() response.status_code = status_code response.data = response.status sleep = request.args.get('sleep', None) if sleep is not None: time.sleep(int(sleep)) return response if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True) With a handy little feature, a "sleep" query string param that'll delay the response for the given number of seconds, which I've used to test how a client handles latency etc. [BTW, looks like you're the Elliot Carlson I used to work with way back when. Hope life is treating you well these days! :)]
