Hey @mre!
Right now I don't believe there is a way for you to simulate a connection delay: I would imagine that being a set_connect_delay
method on the MockServer
itself more than on a specific Mock
/ResponseTemplate
as set_delay
is right now.
To be honest, I am not even sure how to simulate it but I'd be keen to support it - any idea you have on the topic that I might go off and research a bit?
Hey, thanks for the feedback. You're right, the MockServer
might not be the right place. I have to say working with the ResponseTemplate
was really fun, so if you can I'd add it there.
I didn't find much, but this disussion on Tokio might be a starting point.
This is a very useful feature and I'd like to help here.
I have done some digging into this, and I think we could simulate a connect delay quite easily. Basically the idea is to delay (e.g. by sleeping) each of the accept
calls on the server socket. This would most likely be perceived as a "connect delay" by most HTTP clients, since the TCP connection would not be established for some time.
I would have to confirm this by poking around with a toy HTTP server. Tools like wget
and curl
let you specify the connect timeout, so the hypothesis can be confirmed experimentally.
I was under the impression that adding a delay on accept
calls would have not tricked HTTP clients, but, alas, I have not verified it. Would you like to give it a go @pawroman and let us know the outcome?
Hey,
thanks for the crate.
I'm building a link checker and I need a way to simulate a connect delay. Here's a little snippet to show what I tried:
get_checker
is just a wrapper around reqwest.This didn't work. It's obvious, in hindsight, because I was mixing up the response delay with a connect delay. Any way I could test that right now? Maybe there could be another parameter
set_connect_delay
for that?
