You can't always depend on the public service and you don't want to overwhelme it with lots of requests. Luckily the whole system is packed into a Docker image and you can run it locally:

Run httpbin locally

Start as:

docker run --rm -p 80:80 --name httpbin kennethreitz/httpbin

Then run the code:

python client.py

To stop the Docker container open another terminal and execute

docker container stop -t0 httpbin
