How to Test X-Content-Type-Options nosniff in Python with Mocks
Mock httpx responses and verify that a server's X-Content-Type-Options header includes nosniff to prevent MIME sniffing.
import httpx
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
def fetch_headers(url: str) -> dict:
response = httpx.get(url)
return dict(response.headers)
def mock_nosniff_check(response) -> bool:
content_type = response.headers.get("content-type", "")
x_content_type_options = response.headers.get("x-content-ty…How to Mock a Dependency for Readiness Probe in Python
Use unittest.mock.Mock to simulate a dependency's readiness check response for testing a service's is_ready method without hitting a real connection.
import time
import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock
class Service:
def __init__(self, dependency):
self.dependency = dependency
def is_ready(self):
try:
result = self.dependency.check()
return result == "ready"
except Exception:
return False
