ShamServer allows you to build mini web servers for testing.

It uses [PHP's built in web server feature](http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php) to spawn a separate process that listens for incoming requests and responds to them using the router script you provide.

```
use pjdietz\ShamServer\ShamServer;

$host = "localhost";
$port = 8080;
$router = "/path/to/my/router.php";

// Start up a testing web server.
$server = new ShamServer($host, $port, $router);

// A server is now listening at http://localhost:8080

// Shut down the web server.
$server->stop();
```

```
// Create a server that always responds with a 401 status code.
$host = "localhost";
$port = 8080;
$router = "
