+Overview
+========
+
+``httptester`` is a docker container used to host certain resources required by :ref:`testing_integration`. This is to avoid CI tests requiring external resources (such as git or package repos) which, if temporarily unavailable, would cause tests to fail.
+
+HTTP Testing endpoint which provides the following capabilities:
+
+* httpbin
+* nginx
+* SSL
+* SNI
+* Negotiate Authentication
+
+
+Source files can be found in the `http-test-container <https://github.com/ansible/http-test-container>`_ repository.
