rangetest

RangeTest is a tool for testing the compliance of web servers against the HTTP Range specification.

Usage

Webserver Setup

Spin up the web server you wish to test and ensure it can serve the sample file data.txt (included in this repository).

Then, to trigger the test suite:

./rangetest -u <absolute URL pointing to the data.txt file>

The URL value must be a fully qualified HTTP URL, for example: http://localhost:8888/data.txt. HTTPS is supported but no validation is performed on the certificate.

Example Output

[PASS] HEAD request
[PASS] Get all data without range
[PASS] Get all data with range
[PASS] Get single absolute range
[PASS] Get single relative range with start index
[PASS] Get single relative range with end index
