You can save the expected string to a file, save your string to a file, and run diff on a hexdump of both. Even without hexdump, you should see the difference between "\n" and "\\n" in properly escaped output.

But the returned signed string will be an HMAC-SHA256 hash, won't it? Then there's not going to be any '\n' or '\\n's in there. Only thing you'll be able to tell is if it matches your hash or not, in which case 'OK' or 'not OK' will work just as well.

Or am I misunderstanding you?

You are indeed misunderstanding me. I am talking about returning the entire string to be signed. Not the result of the signature.

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

But couldn't you then just make the call to an echo service (like HTTPbin) or simply dump the request when you send it?
