Return something that looks like a 'response' — fake

These functions allow mocking of HTTP requests without requiring an internet connection or server to run against. Their return shape is a 'httr' "response" class object that should behave like a real response generated by a real request.

Usage

fake_response(
  request,
  verb = "GET",
  status_code = 200,
  headers = list(),
  content = NULL
)

Arguments

request: An 'httr' request-class object. A character URL is also accepted, for which a fake request object will be created, using the verb argument as well.
verb: Character name for the HTTP verb, if request is a URL. Default is "GET".
status_code: Integer HTTP response status
headers: Optional list of additional response headers to return
content: If supplied, a JSON-serializable list that will be returned as response content with Content-Type: application/json. If no content is provided, and if the status_code is not 204 No Content, the url will be set as the response content with Content-Type: text/plain.

Value

An 'httr' response class object.
