PowerShell/test/tools/WebListener

WebListener App

ASP.NET Core 2.0 app for testing HTTP and HTTPS Requests.

Run with dotnet

dotnet restore
dotnet publish --output bin --configuration Release
cd bin
dotnet WebListener.dll ServerCert.pfx password 8083 8084

The test site can then be accessed via http://localhost:8083/ or https://localhost:8084/.

The WebListener.dll takes 4 arguments:

• The path to the Server Certificate
• The Server Certificate Password
• The TCP Port to bind on for HTTP
• The TCP Port to bind on for HTTPS

Run With WebListener Module

Import-Module .\build.psm1
Publish-PSTestTools
$Listener = Start-WebListener -HttpPort 8083 -HttpsPort 8084
