httplog is a command line tool that launches a local HTTP server that logs all
requests it receives, replying with a canned response.

### Examples
Run with no options, a server will be launched on localhost:8080, answering no body and an HTTP 200 status code to all requests.
To configure the HTTP status code, use the --response-code <code> option, i.e. for a HTTP 500 Internal Server code:
$ httplog --response-code 500
$ curl -v http://localhost:8080
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server ErrorTo configure the response body, use the --response <text> option, i.e. to responsd the text hello world to all requests:
$ httplog --response "hello world"
$ curl http://localhost:8080
Hello WorldIf you would prefer JSON output, rather than human-readable text, use the --json option.
