busybox-http-app serves HTTP headers in the body of its response
wallrj opened this issue · comments
busybox-http-app is a useful little container; we are using it in our functional tests to check that our wrappers correctly configure and call geard.
But we notice that the index.html served by busybox httpd actually contains HTTP header lines....which seems like a mistake.
It results in the following confusing HTTP conversation.
GET / HTTP/1.1
Connection: close
Host: 127.0.0.1:4040
Accept-Encoding: gzip
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 14:26:00 GMT
Connection: close
Last-Modified: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 18:35:13 GMT
Content-length: 88
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 12
Hello world!
Perhaps those headers should have been removed from the html file in #144 and perhaps the file should be renamed index.txt so that busybox httpd serves it with the correct content-type. May also have to configure busybox httpd to treat index.txt as an index file.
Thanks - @mfojtik can you tweak this?
@smarterclayton @wallrj sure thing. I think I add those headers to make Go http client happy as without headers just a raw HTML is returned from netcat instead of a proper HTTP response.
Marking as fixed
