Import HTTP Wire Format

Speedscale can import traffic stored in files matching the HTTP network wire format. This is the format you would see when observing an HTTP transaction with a packet analysis tool such as Wireshark. It is also common in service virtualization tools.

Name each request Req{N}.txt and its response Res{N}.txt, where {N} is an increasing integer. For example, pair Req1.txt with Res1.txt.

The format of the request text file should match this example:

POST /foo-platform/pdt/foo/management HTTP/1.1
SOAPAction: http://speedscale.com/blah
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:awsse="http://xml.amadeus.com/2010/06/Session_v3" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"></soap:Envelope>

The response file would look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml
Ama-TraceID: 0084232588
Ama-Tracker: AMA_SEA_PDT_2023-11-17T19:08:46Z_0084232588
Ama-ProcessingTime: 144

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:awsse="http://xml.amadeus.com/2010/06/Session_v3" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"></soap:Envelope>

These are the same bytes that would be sent for this HTTP interaction over the network.

Import to Speedscale Cloud​

Zip the request/response pairs with all files at the root of the archive:

speedctl import http-wire --name {SNAPSHOT_NAME} --service-name {SERVICE_NAME} --from {ZIPFILE} {FLAGS}

The command creates a cloud snapshot containing mocks for the imported request/response pairs.

Import to local proxymock files​

proxymock accepts either the directory or a zip archive:

proxymock import http-wire ./wire-captures --out ./wire-rrpairs
proxymock mock --in ./wire-rrpairs

If a request has no Host header, set --target-host and --target-port so proxymock knows which dependency the mock represents.

Check the current options with speedctl import http-wire --help or proxymock import http-wire --help.
