tiny-http-probe

---

Overview

tiny-http-probe is a minimal, stateless HTTP server designed for health checks, cache testing, and network diagnostics. It provides a set of endpoints that return simple JSON payloads, allowing you to:

• Test HTTP connectivity and response headers
• Inspect client IP and proxy headers
• Validate cache and CDN behaviors

Security Considerations

• Rootless by default: The container runs as a non-root user (UID/GID 1000) for improved security.
• Minimal attack surface: The final Docker image is built FROM scratch and contains only the statically compiled Go binary.
• No persistent storage: The app is stateless and does not write to disk.
• No authentication: Endpoints are public by design; do not expose to untrusted networks if sensitive.

Build Instructions

Build and Run with Docker

docker build -t tiny-http-probe .
docker run -p 8080:8080 tiny-http-probe

Build Locally (requires Go 1.22+)

go mod tidy
go build -o tiny-http-probe
./tiny-http-probe

The server will listen on port 8080 by default. You can override the port with the PORT environment variable.
