Route String

Route string dataclient can be used to create simple demo applications, for example if you want to show traffic switching or ratelimiting or just need to serve some json in your demo.

Serve text

Serve with Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("Hello, world!") -> <shunt>'

Docker Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

docker run -p 9090:9090 -it registry.opensource.zalan.do/teapot/skipper:latest skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("Hello, world!") -> <shunt>'

Serve HTML with CSS

Serve with Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("<html><body style=\"background-color: orange;\"></body></html>") -> <shunt>'

Docker Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

docker run -p 9090:9090 -it registry.opensource.zalan.do/teapot/skipper:latest skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("<html><body style=\"background-color: orange;\"></body></html>") -> <shunt>'

Serve JSON

Serve with Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("{\"foo\": 3}", "application/json; charset=utf-8") -> <shunt>'

Docker Example (Open your browser http://localhost:9090/):

docker run -p 9090:9090 -it registry.opensource.zalan.do/teapot/skipper:latest skipper -inline-routes '* -> inlineContent("{\"foo\": 3}", "application/json; charset=utf-8") -> <shunt>'

Proxy to a given URL

If you just have to build a workaround and you do not want to use socat to do a tcp proxy, but proxy http, you can do:

% skipper -inline-routes '* -> "https://my-new-backend.example.org/"'
