15
16           my $s = My::WebServer->new;
17
18           my $url_root = $s->started_ok("start up my web server);
19
20           # connect to "$url_root/cool/site" and test with Test::WWW::Mechanize,

DESCRIPTION

24       This mixin class provides methods to test an HTTP::Server::Simple-based
25       web server.  Currently, it provides only one such method: "started_ok".
26
27   started_ok [$text]
28       "started_ok" takes an optional test description.  The server needs to
29       have been configured (specifically, its port needs to have been set),
30       but it should not have been run or backgrounded.  "started_ok" calls
31       "background" on the server, which forks it to run in the background.
32       Test::HTTP::Server::Simple takes care of killing the server when your
33       test script dies, even if you kill your test script with an interrupt.
34       "started_ok" returns the URL "http://localhost:$port" which you can use
35       to connect to your server.
36
37       Note that if the child process dies, or never gets around to listening
38       for connections, this just hangs.  (This may be fixed in a future
39       version.)
40
41       Also, it probably won't work if you use a custom Net::Server in your
42       server.
43
44   pids
45       Returns the PIDs of the processes which have been started.  Since
46       multiple test servers can be running at one, be aware that this returns
47       a list.
