Mocking Http-503 for a web service

Question

I would like to mock a web service response for an HTTP 503 (Error 503--Service Unavailable) when The server is unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. What is the best strategy? Thanks, D

You can use the following Groovy script:

mockRequest.getHttpResponse().sendError(503)

Good start for helping out in answering this question! Your answer could be a bit better if it provided an example of how to use the tool. Maybe provide a basic example? – Lenna Nov 17 '20 at 18:29
