Write a test to check virtual hosting

[552020]

This test woudl be for a check explicited mentioned in the eval sheet (check related issue).

This is a possible script in bash, which uses curl which is suggested in the eval sheet. The name of the websites should be changed to the websites we are hosting

#!/bin/bash

# Declare an array of website hostnames

websites=("site1.example.com" "site2.example.com" "site3.example.com")

# Loop through the array of websites

for site in "${websites[@]}"; do

    # Use curl to send a request to each site, overriding DNS resolution to 127.0.0.1

    response=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}" --resolve "${site}:80:127.0.0.1" "http://${site}/")

    

    # Check if the HTTP status code is 200

    if [ "$response" -eq 200 ]; then

        echo "SUCCESS: ${site} returned status code 200."

    else

        echo "ERROR: ${site} returned status code ${response}."

    fi

done

This is the same in Python.

import requests

List of website hostnames

websites = ["site1.example.com", "site2.example.com", "site3.example.com"]

Loop through the list of websites

for site in websites:

# Construct the URL

url = f"http://{site}/"



# Send the HTTP request, specifying the custom resolution of the domain

try:

    response = requests.get(url, headers={'Host': site}, proxies={'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:80'})

    

    # Check if the HTTP status code is 200

    if response.status_code == 200:

        print(f"SUCCESS: {site} returned status code 200.")

    else:

        print(f"ERROR: {site} returned status code {response.status_code}.")

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:

    print(f"ERROR: Could not connect to {site}. Exception: {str(e)}")

@slombard said in WEB-146:

Basically what --resolve do, is sending an http request to example.com:80 as the website would be hosted at the IP address 127.0.0.1. The http request will be send to 127.0.0.1:80 and the Hostname will be 'example.com'.

Basically what they want here is to send different request with curl to different hostnames.
