The HTTP model

HTTPNet models a network where several clients send HTTP requests to a web server, which replies with the appropriate web pages or 404 Not Found. (The simulation is performed on a very abstract level: TCP or IP details are not simulated at all, etc.) Most HTTP clients are simulated ones, but one of them is a proxy which represents a real-life user (that is, you): by pointing your browser to http://localhost:4242 while the simulation is running, you can inject real HTTP requests into the simulated network.

To try:

It is also possible to stop the simulation when a packet is underway, and peek into it.
