Whoami
Simple HTTP service that displays request details - ideal for testing proxies and ingress.
About
Whoami is an extremely simple HTTP service that prints all incoming request details back to the client. When you access it, it displays the hostname, IP address, headers, and other request information. It's primarily used for testing reverse proxies, load balancers, Kubernetes ingress, Docker networking, and other infrastructure. Features include displaying request method, path, headers, client IP, and server info in a clean format. Perfect for testing that your reverse proxy is working, checking what headers are being passed, or debugging network configurations.
