Creating A Mock Server For Testing

See Through The `Flask`

1. Basic Set Up
2. Flask Server
3. Farming And Harvesting Online Data Sources
4. Creating Mock Data
5. Creating A Flask Server For Simple curl

In many cases, we just need a basic mock server to test for basic features, e.g.:

├── Present a page
├── Send parameters*
├── Upload a file*
├── Download a file
* and have the server store or process them.

Basic Set Up

├── app.py
├── get_data_from_url.py
├── requirements.txt
├── static

└── templates
│   ├── index.html
│   └── uploader.html
│   └── download.html
└── uploads # where files will be uploaded to [aka 'files_upload']
└── files_for_download
