Shorenet protocol fixtures — edge
Endpoints that return a fixed, documented HTTP shape, for testing protocol tooling. Every response is deterministic: the same request returns the same bytes. Each endpoint is reachable over HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 — your client chooses by ALPN.
This host sits behind a CDN, so what you see is a commercial edge's TLS and
HTTP implementation serving these shapes. The same fixtures, plus
handshake-level ones (older TLS versions, non-HTTP ALPN, QUIC Retry,
WebTransport), are served directly from lab.shorenet.co.uk and its
sub-names.
| Endpoint | Behaviour |
|---|---|
/f/ce-identity | HTTP 200, Content-Encoding: identity, 43-byte image/gif. |
/f/ce-none | HTTP 200, Content-Encoding: none, same 43-byte body, not transformed. |
/f/ce-utf8 | HTTP 200, Content-Encoding: utf-8, body not transformed. Set the length with ?v=626 or ?v=7132. |
/f/ce-gzip | HTTP 200, a correctly gzip-encoded body. |
/f/ce-gzip-mislabelled | HTTP 200, gzip bytes labelled Content-Encoding: deflate. |
/f/status- | A bare response at that status. 200, 204, 206, 304, 404 and 500. |
/f/bulk-body | HTTP 200, a large deterministic body. Set the size in megabytes with ?v=2, 8 or 32. |
/f/sse-trickle | text/event-stream, a fixed number of events at a fixed spacing, stream left open. Set count with ?n= and the gap in milliseconds with ?ms=. |
/f/body-slow | HTTP 200, body written one byte at a time, 50 ms apart. Set the length with ?n=. |
/f/h1-keepalive-gzip | HTTP 200, gzip body, Content-Length set, connection kept alive. Request it repeatedly on one connection. |
/f/ws-echo | WebSocket upgrade, then a byte-exact echo of every frame. |
/f/ws-ce-none | WebSocket upgrade whose 101 carries Content-Encoding: none. |
/f/ech-h3 | HTTP 200, text/plain. Reachable over HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. |
