Test HTTP Requests without Mock Server

In plain words

This is a tool for developers who need to test HTTP requests without setting up a mock server. It simplifies the testing process by providing a straightforward way to validate HTTP interactions during development. The tool is hosted on GitHub and targets software engineers looking for a lightweight alternative to traditional mocking frameworks, making it useful for anyone building or debugging applications that rely on HTTP communication.
