Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support while launching it and connecting to the instance for the first time as well as continuous security updates available in new versions.
DESCRIPTION
httpbin is a simple, yet powerful tool for testing and debugging HTTP requests and responses. Designed for developers, QA testers, and API integrators, HTTPBin allows users to visualize, inspect, and validate HTTP request data in real-time. This tool provides an easy way to simulate various HTTP methods, headers, query parameters, and status codes.
By deploying HTTPBin on AWS, teams can leverage a cloud-based, always-available environment to test webhooks, API endpoints, and client-server communication. It helps developers debug issues quickly and ensures seamless API integrations with third-party services.
Key Features:
- HTTP Request Inspection to view incoming requests, including headers, query strings, form data, and JSON payloads
- Simulation of HTTP Methods such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and more to test endpoint functionality
- Status Code Testing to simulate and test client behavior for 2xx, 4xx, and 5xx response codes
- Request Delay Simulation to test timeout handling and performance under slow response conditions
- Customizable Responses to return specific data, headers, cookies, and other HTTP properties
HTTPBin is essential for anyone working with HTTP APIs, enabling fast testing and debugging without the need for complex scripts or local test servers. Use it to inspect API request details, troubleshoot issues, and ensure your applications handle different response scenarios effectively. Deploy HTTPBin on AWS to have a ready-to-use, highly available, and secure environment for testing HTTP interactions.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch the instance either via AWS MarketPlace wizard or EC2 console
Web Access
- Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP 80 from your location or use default settings (open to the world)
- In your browser, access the instance ip using https and port 80, for example: https://34.239.94.134:80/
SSH Access
- Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 22 from your location or 0.0.0.0/0 (open to the world)
- Use an SSH client (for example: https://www.putty.org ) to connect to the instance's IP on the port 22.
- Authenticate to the instance using the key pair selected during the instance launch. The user name is ec2-user.
Additional Information
Monitoring the Health of the instance
- Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region.
- Choose Instance and select your launched instance.
- Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed.
Data Encryption
- This image does not provide encryption by default at the Operating System or Application level, customers are encouraged to enable EBS encryption during the Instance Launch: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html
- EBS Encryption using the Default key enables key rotation - More details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html#kms-key-rotation - Using EBS encryption, the decryption is done automatically when using the instance.
- Customer data can be saved anywhere in the instance, however it is a good practice to save user data (including sensitive data) in the /home/<user-name> directory.
