Can your project Simulate a server?

Hello, I'm trying to make a Proof of cancept that we can simulate connection on mainframe using protocol 3270 using automation. Can i do it with your repository? I would like to have a docker file that mimic a server. Best regards, Stephane

No, this library is used for automated Client testing. If you want to simulate a server you could take a look on something like: https://github.com/racingmars/go3270
where you could define your "server" in go files and use any regular client (this lib, or a regular 3270 client).

3270 sends a structured data stream, not pixels. a tn3270e mock listener exercises the client without standing up a full Hercules mainframe image.
