			<title>Introduction</title>
			<para>
				libuhttpmock works by recording the Soup Session your application uses.
				It traces the requests your application makes and the reply it receives
				from the (online) server you query. After capturing an initial trace,
				libuhttpmock will be able to reply to your application's requests
				the same way the actual servers would and as such help you detect
				unwanted changes in behaviour in your application.

			</example>

			<para>
				This example can be compiled using:
			</para>
			<informalexample>
				<programlisting>
gcc -o uhttpsample uhttpsample.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gio-2.0 glib-2.0 libsoup-3.0 libuhttpmock-0.0)
				</programlisting>
			</informalexample>
			<para>
				Afterwards, executing <code>./uhttpsample</code> will run the test suite. Initially it will
				record a trace of the requests done by the test_mock function and the responses
				it receives, because <code>uhm_server_set_enable_logging</code> and
				<code>uhm_server_set_enable_online</code> are both set to <code>TRUE</code>. Upon setting
				both of these to <code>FALSE</code>, libuhttpmock will read the trace it
				created earlier and will fail the test (by returning an HTTP status code indicating failure
				for the faulty query your application makes) in case something is different - e.g. because
				your application queried a different URL than expected. Keep in mind that by default
				libuhttpmock will only compare the URI and methods of messages, but no headers and
				not the message bodies. To override this behaviour, you can connect to the
				<code>compare-messages</code> signal on <code>UhmServer</code> to implement your own
				custom handler for checking if messages are as expected.

			<title>Testing Workflow</title>
			<para>
				Once you have integrated libuhttpmock into your tests, your workflow will consist out of the
				following steps:
			</para>
			<itemizedlist>
				<listitem>
					<para>
						<emphasis role="strong">Log</emphasis>: After doing changes in your application that
						cause wanted changes in behavior (e.g. a different response after the API has changed),
						you want to record a new trace. For this you enable both logging and online modes, as
						described above.
					</para>
				</listitem>
				<listitem>
					<para>
						<emphasis role="strong">Compare</emphasis>: If you want to make sure the server still
						behaves as you expect (sends you the expected responses), you can disable logging and
						enable the online mode. libuhttpmock will then query the actual online server, but won't
						overwrite the trace file and will error out if any response from the server has changed.
					</para>
				</listitem>
				<listitem>
					<para>
						<emphasis role="strong">Test</emphasis>: When running tests in CI or when releasing your
						application for downstreams to package it (and run tests), you want both logging and
						the online mode to be disabled. In this case libuhttpmock will mock the responses of the
						actual online server. That way no internet access is required for your tests, API keys required
						for testing don't have to be shipped and so on.
					</para>
