Steps for invoking local post serve action

• Install the python requests library via pip

    pip install requests

• Start hoverfly by passing a post-serve-action, and a simulation file that invokes post serve action by its name.

   hoverfly -post-serve-action "outbound-http python3 examples/postserveaction/outboundhttpaction.py 1000" -import examples/postserveaction/simulation-with-callback.json

• You can verify that the post serve action is registered by using the admin endpoint: http://localhost:8888/api/v2/hoverfly/post-serve-action

• Proxying a request to http://helloworld-test.com should trigger a callback to http://ip.jsontest.com, and the log from the post serve action script should be printed out to the hoverfly logs:

   INFO[2023-09-03T12:46:25+01:00] Output from post serve action HTTP call invoked from IP Address: 100.197.184.111 

Steps for invoking remote post serve action

• Start hoverfly by passing a remote post-serve-action, and a simulation file that invokes post serve action by its name.

   hoverfly -post-serve-action "outbound-http https://echo.free.beeceptor.com 1000" -import examples/postserveaction/simulation-with-callback.json

• You can verify that the post serve action is registered by using the admin endpoint: http://localhost:8888/api/v2/hoverfly/post-serve-action

• Proxying a request to http://helloworld-test.com should invoke remote postserve action to https://echo.free.beeceptor.com, and the log should be printed out to the hoverfly logs:

   INFO[2024-04-05T12:09:58+05:30] Remote post serve action invoked successfully
