Unit Testing for the Web

User Agent Testing

If you happen to have the get tool in your path (depends on you having ActivePerl installed), try this: c:\>get -dSUH "User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" http://novak:8080

And you should see the trace back of request headers and response status chain. You should expect output like this: 

U:\>get -dSUH "User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" http://novak:8080
GET http://novak:8080/homecrawler
User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)

GET http://novak:8080 --> 302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://novak:8080/home --> 302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://novak:8080/homecrawler --> 200 OK

And if you want to see the output, remove the 'd' option: U:\>get -SUH "User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" http://novak:8080

and you should see something like this: 

GET http://novak:8080/homecrawler
User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)

GET http://novak:8080 --> 302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://novak:8080/home --> 302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://novak:8080/homecrawler --> 200 OK
