    Embedded response specification
    
+    
    
+
+    
    One interesting feature of the Request sppecification language is that
+    you can embed a response specifcation in it, which is then added to the
+    request path. Here's an example:
    
+
+    
    > pathoc localhost:9999 "get:/p/:s'401:ir,@1'" 
    
+
+    
     This crafts a request that connects to the pathod server, and which then
+    crafts a response that generates a 401, with one random byte embedded at a
+    random point. The response specification is parsed and expanded by pathoc,
+    so you see syntax errors immediately. This really becomes handy when
+    combined with the -e flag to show the expanded request:
+
+    
    > > pathoc -e localhost:9999 "get:/p/:s'401:ir,@1'"
+>> Spec: get:/p/:s'401:i15,\'o\':h\'Content-Length\'=\'0\'':h'Content-Length'='0'
+<< 401 Unoauthorized: 0 bytes 
    
+
+    
     Note that the embedded response has been resolved before being
+    sent to the server, so that "ir,@1" (embed a random byte at a random
+    location) has become "i15,\'o\'" (embed the character "o" at offset 15). You
+    now have a pathoc request specification that is precisely reproducable, even
+    with random components. This feature comes in terribly handy when testing a
+    proxy, since you can now drive the server repsonse completely from the
+    client, and have a complete log of reproducible requests to analyse
+    afterwards.
