Regarding the question Simple command line HTTP server I would like to know, what is the simplest method for creating a http server listening on a specified port that will always cause timeout (it just eats the request and never responds).I am looking for a dead simple oneliner. It would be useful for the purpose of testing clients.
Simple http server from the command line that will always cause a timeout
command line;webserver;http;timeout
You can use NetCat to just listen on a port and do nothing:nc -l $PORT
