Feature suggestion: reflect request

I came across this as a testing tool. It's nice, thanks. Another testing desire I have occasionally is to run an on line webserver temporarily that just responds with a complete and reliable description of the request it received. A request mirror. To test both the construction of and transport of requests I guess. Wonder if this is a nice tool to add that to, or if another exists that I've not found.

A server response that completely reflects the request will be rejected by any HTTP client, because the first line of the request and response are different. For example, the first line of the request is "GET / HTTP/1.1" and the first line of the response is "HTTP/1.1 200 OK". Maybe add a raw request/response log option?

I'd think it good enough to return the request as a well formatted text in a legal response (akin indeed to logging it to a text file and the serving that text file). Just a thought

Sounds interesting, I like it! I put it on my TODO list. Thank you!

v1.0.4

• I have added a printout of live request/response pairs to the console (can be disabled with the --no-log switch)
• In addition, I added live query/response pairs output to a file (see option --collect)
• The formatted query output directly in the browser - not yet implemented.

My first night making any time for this project in many months. Sorry I haven't been back sooner. But Tonight I gave this a spin, and imagine my surprise to see you're up to v6!

No luck immediately, though. But till report in another issue as I suspect I have a noob problem,

isn't httpbin already satisfying these purposes?
