[Hawkular-dev] Mocking HTTP Server

[Peter Palaga]

Thanks John and others for ideas.

Indeed, doing this with Vertex seems to be very elegant.

Anyway, wiremock seems to be the winner for both its built-in and easy 
to use HTTPS support and the fact that it provides a JUnit rule that 
starts and stops the HTTP(s) service around the tests as needed.

Here is the PR: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular/pull/193

Thanks again,

Peter
