You might have more years under your belt, that doesn't mean you're
better than me. I've got 24 years of programming experience. I've
developed many things from scratch, alone and in teams, including
enterprise applications, large scale websites, graphics drivers, physics
simulators, ray tracers, CPU emulators. I've had successful projects,
and I've had failed projects. I've written complete applications in C,
C++, Java, Assembly, PHP.
I tell you none of this to receive validation or kudos. Only to let you
know the context of my question. I'm not budding young programmer; I'm
an experienced veteran. When I say I want a Mock HTTP server, I know
that's exactly what I want, and it will do what I want.
The reason I looked to Google and here for such a mock-server is that
I'm experienced enough to know I don't want to build one from scratch.
Even though I'm capable enough to do so.
I want one I can easily integrate into my project so that the dozens of
other developers that depend on my code-base can benefit with the
minimum amount of work on their part. I don't want them to have to set
up a new Apache or Nginx instance just to be able to run Unit Tests.
*I* don't want to set up an instance just for unit tests.

That's not what I'm asking for. I've validated the approach I'm taking.

I'm asking for options of Mock HTTP servers. You gave your opinion. I
read it, considered it, and I have decided it isn't the right fit. You
needn't reply further.

I gave my reasons why your solution didn't work for me. It may work for
others in smaller companies with fewer developers. I answer to about a
dozen different *teams* of developers, so I want to provide the solution
as self-encapsulated as possible.
Thanks for your input. I do appreciate the advice you gave in the first
reply, even though it wasn't right for my situation.
Unless you have experience with *mock* servers which meet my
requirements, you need not reply further.
Thanks,
Daniel.
