Find websites returning 503 response codes

Question

Hi,

Where can I find pages returning 503 codes so I can test a script I'm working on?

Thanks

Answer 1

One possibility is to create a separate script that returns the status code in question. The contents of such HTTP response should be pretty straighforward:

HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable

But if you are not fond of building it all by yourself then you can use FakeWeb which is a test helper for faking responses to web requests.
