Random Status Middleware
========================

[](#random-status-middleware)

Randomise the status code returned from a middleware pipeline.

[![CircleCI](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/816e9c3c65a624fe7b22d7f02145273ca155f5d719537e6fcca1a880e3f47079/68747470733a2f2f636972636c6563692e636f6d2f67682f61736772696d2f72616e646f6d2d7374617475732d6d6964646c65776172652e7376673f7374796c653d737667)](https://circleci.com/gh/asgrim/random-status-middleware)

Given a middleware pipeline, change the HTTP status code to a new random status code.

Inspired by my own tweet:

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- `composer require asgrim/random-status-middleware`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add `\Asgrim\RandomStatusMiddleware\RandomStatusMiddleware` into your middleware pipeline. Probably works best towards the outermost layer to ensure the status code is not overwritten unintentionally by another middleware.
