Examples

Example status code test from the module's unit tests

it('should succeed on a 200 status code', function(done) {
    httpVerify.verify({
      url: 'https://www.google.com',
      conditions: [
        {
          type: 'statusCode',
          value: 200
        }
      ]
    }, function(err) {
      should.not.exist(err);
      done();
    });
  });

Body type example. Note that here the conditions property is an object, not an array.

it('body contains should succeed', function(done) {
    httpVerify.verify({
      url: 'https://www.google.com',
      conditions: {
        type: 'body',
        operator: 'contains',
        value: 'google'
      }
    }, function(err) {
      should.not.exist(err);
      done();
    });
  });

Header type examples from the unit tests. Note that Node usually converts header names to lower-case.

it('header exists should succeed', function(done) {
    httpVerify.verify({
      url: 'https://www.google.com',
      conditions: {
        type: 'header',
        operator: 'exists',
        nameValue: 'date'
      }
    }, function(err) {
      should.not.exist(err);
      done();
    });
  });

  it('header contains should succeed', function(done) {
    httpVerify.verify({
      url: 'https://www.google.com',
      conditions: {
        type: 'header',
        operator: 'contains',
        nameValue: 'date',
        value: 'GMT'
      }
    }, function(err) {
      should.not.exist(err);
      done();
    });
  });

  it('header equals should succeed', function(done) {
    httpVerify.verify({
      url: 'https://www.google.com',
      conditions: {
        type: 'header',
        operator: 'equals',
        nameValue: 'expires',
        value: '-1'
      }
    }, function(err) {
      should.not.exist(err);
      done();
    });
  });
