This command starts a simple "echo" server on localhost:8081 for testing purposes.

The query string of the request can be used to control some specific behavior:

expires=<N>: will add the "Expires" header to the response, expiring after N seconds.
chunked=<N>: will send N chunks of data (chunked transfer encoding) before actual echo response.

Examples:

$ curl -i http://localhost:8081/hello
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...

/hello

$ curl -i http://localhost:8081/hello\?expires\=3
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Expires: Sun, 11 Dec 2022 03:33:38 GMT

/hello

$ curl -i http://localhost:8081/hello\?chunked\=3
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Chunk 1
Chunk 2
Chunk 3
/hello
