# HTTP Crawler Test Site

This website was created to replace the original static website

used for testing [WebCopy][2] features, expanded to cover

additional scenarios that the original didn't handle and to

ensure a lean site that doesn't slow down integration testing

unnecessarily. Of course, writing better tests is just as

important! But every little helps, over time it has been used to

find bugs in WebCopy's crawl engine and to help ensure

regressions don't make it back in.

[Cyotek][1] is a .NET shop and usually all our products are

written in C# using Visual Studio. This time however we decided

to keep it simple and this site has been written with PHP,

originally using WebMatrix and currently Visual Studio Code. As

we aren't PHP coders and don't have much of a clue on best

practices for writing PHP or even most of the language the code

quality is probably less than stellar. Although it was fairly

fun to write as it doesn't need an ever increasing amount of

binary dependencies, no assembly bindings or version woes... it

just works.

You can view a live demo running at

[https://demo.cyotek.com][3]. To run the source you should only

need PHP 5.3 or above and some form of web server. This site has

been tested using IIS Express, IIS 8.5, IIS 10 and Apache

running on some variant of Linux.
