Overview
========

``httptester`` is a docker container used to host certain resources required by :ref:`testing_integration`. This is to avoid CI tests requiring external resources (such as git or package repos) which, if temporarily unavailable, would cause tests to fail.

HTTP Testing endpoint which provides the following capabilities:

* httpbin
* nginx
* SSL
* SNI
* Negotiate Authentication


Source files can be found in the `http-test-container <https://github.com/ansible/http-test-container>`_ repository.

			`====================`

Fixes broken links. For the github links this was where references to in the URL are stale due to the default branch in the linked repository now being . While github does have the functionality of dropping you on the default branch (via an HTTP 302 redirect) when it does not recognize the branch you are trying to reach, the fact that most of these links work is more of a coincidence than reliance on a github feature. Also removes unnecessary whitespace where found.
