PHP 5.4+ and “php -S $TEST_HOST:$PORT your_handler.php”, perhaps with the
“-c” and/or “-d” options, should suffice.
Depending on the header fields you need to read, and the PHP version you
have available, you might need to use a different server.
apache_request_headers() is available in the CLI server since PHP 5.5.7.
I have verified that the CLI server of PHP 5.5.11 can handle several
requests made at approximately the same time (as expected):
,----
| $ echo '<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] . "\n";' > server.php
| $ php -S localhost:1337 server.php
| Listening on http://localhost:1337
| Document root is /home/****/scripts/php/test
| Press Ctrl-C to quit.
`----
In another terminal:
,----
| $ GET http://localhost:1337/foo & GET http://localhost:1337/bar
| [1] 19301
| /bar
| $ /foo
| [1]+ Done GET http://localhost:1337/foo
`----
[“GET” is symlinked to lwp-request(1p), a Perl-based command-line tool to
make HTTP requests. The “$” in-between is only the client's shell
interfering with the server output; you will not see it if you use a PHP
client like curl_multi(). Note that apparently reading the server script
from a FIFO is not possible; you need to create a real file.]
