Unable to validate response headers from a REST API using Karate - rest

I have a simple REST API that allows to POST resources in a given endpoint, and I want to validate that the response headers are set correctly. I have defined the following feature, which inserts a bunch of users in the database:
Scenario Outline: Creating a bunch of new users when the database is empty
Given header Content-Type = 'application/json'
And request __row
When method post
Then status 201
* match header Content-Type == 'application/json'
* match header Location == 'http://localhost:8080/users/'+response.id
Examples:
| users |
Users are inserted correctly, and in console I can see the following response headers:
1 < 201
1 < Connection: keep-alive
1 < Content-Type: application/json
1 < Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 14:06:31 GMT
1 < Keep-Alive: timeout=60
1 < Location: http://localhost:8080/users/user1#test.com
1 < Transfer-Encoding: chunked
But each time I try to run this test, I get the same response:
path: $['Content-Type'][0], actual: null, expected: 'application/json', reason: actual json-path does not exist

Works for me on 0.9.6
* url 'https://httpbin.org/get'
* method get
* match header Content-Type == 'application/json'
But as I mentioned in my comment, please try the 1.0 / RC version: https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/1.0-upgrade-guide
As we are focusing efforts on that.

vscode-restclient How to process / parse response body

The vscode extension vscode-restclient allows to create http request and handle the response similar to curl or postman.
A POST request to /sales/getResult/ returns this response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: ....
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 67
Connection: close
Load your results with ID: CJoYTvh8
From the body we need the id CJoYTvh8 to get details. The request to get details goes to the URL /sales/GetResult/{{resultId}} . Where {{resultId}} stands for the ID CJoYTvh8 from the previous response body.
I want to create the request for the details which needs to look like this
#resultId = {{myRequest.response.body}} // this should only be CJoYTvh8
# #name getResult_for_id
POST /sales/getResult/{{resultId}} HTTP/1.1
Host: {{our_host}}
Authorization: Bearer {{authToken}}
Content-Type: application/json
I am looking for something like this
#resultId = response.body.split(':')[1].trim()
Question
How can i split the string Load your results with ID: CJoYTvh8 in vscode-restclient so that i assign only the id CJoYTvh8 to the variable #resultId?

How to get last-modified from http header with dartio HttpClient

Hi there I want get Last_modified from http header with dart.io HttpClient()
code sample is:
var client = new HttpClient();
HttpClientRequest req = await client.getUrl(Uri.parse("sayagh.asnafhormozgan.ir/wp-content/tables/essentials.csv"));
var a = req.headers.value("lastModifiedHeader");
but a returns null;
how I can get Last modified?
but when I get it with curl:
curl -v "sayagh.asnafhormozgan.ir/wp-content/tables/drawer.csv"
* Trying 51.89.173.235:80...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to sayagh.asnafhormozgan.ir (51.89.173.235) port 80 (#0)
> GET /wp-content/tables/drawer.csv HTTP/1.1
> Host: sayagh.asnafhormozgan.ir
> User-Agent: curl/7.65.3
> Accept: */*

* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse

You'll need to wait for the second future to get the response, i.e.:
A getUrl request is a two-step process, triggered by two Futures. When
the first future completes with a HttpClientRequest, the underlying
network connection has been established, but no data has been sent. In
the callback function for the first future, the HTTP headers and body
can be set on the request. Either the first write to the request
object or a call to close sends the request to the server.
See https://api.dartlang.org/stable/2.5.0/dart-io/HttpClient-class.html
Also it should be 'last-modified' and not 'lastModifiedHeader' (or even better use the static const variable HttpHeaders.lastModifiedHeader), e.g.:
HttpClient client = HttpClient();
HttpClientRequest req = await client.getUrl(Uri.parse(
'http://sayagh.asnafhormozgan.ir/wp-content/tables/essentials.csv'));
HttpClientResponse response = await req.close();
print(response.headers.value(HttpHeaders.lastModifiedHeader));

Load performance testing with Gatling and Content-Type

I am using gatling for load performance testing on a brand new API. It seems fairly easy and well documented but I am facing an issue as simple as POST a request with Content-Type set to 'application/vnd.api+json' on the Header. All works well when doing the GET stuff but when launching a POST test I get a
HTTP response:
status=
415 Unsupported Media Type
headers=
cache-control: [no-cache]
Content-Type: [application/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8]
Date: [Fri, 08 Sep 2017 12:57:10 GMT]
Server: [nginx]
Vary: [Origin]
x-content-type-options: [nosniff]
x-frame-options: [SAMEORIGIN]
X-Request-Id: [ff993645-8e01-4689-82a8-2f0920e4f2a9]
x-runtime: [0.040662]
x-xss-protection: [1; mode=block]
Content-Length: [218]
Connection: [keep-alive]
body=
{"errors":[{"title":"Unsupported media type","detail":"All requests that create or update must use the 'application/vnd.api+json' Content-Type. This request specified 'application/json'.","code":"415","status":"415"}]}
Here is the scala code I am using for the http request:
object PostTokenGcm {
val token = exec {
http("TestAPI POST /tokens")
.post("/tokens")
.headers(Map("Authorization" -> testApiToken,
"Content-Type" -> "application/vnd.api+json",
"Accept" -> "application/vnd.api+json" ))
.body(StringBody(gcmTokenRequestBody)).asJSON
.check(status.is(201))
.check(bodyString.exists)
}}
It seems that it is not setting the Content-Type?
Thank you for any lead!
In your POST definition you're using asJSON. According to notes in documentation about request headers:
http("foo").get("bar").asJSON is equivalent to:
http("foo").get("bar")
.header(HttpHeaderNames.ContentType, HttpHeaderValues.ApplicationJson)
.header(HttpHeaderNames.Accept, HttpHeaderValues.ApplicationJson)
... so, headers set in:
.headers(Map("Authorization" -> testApiToken,
"Content-Type" -> "application/vnd.api+json",
"Accept" -> "application/vnd.api+json" ))
... get overwritten by asJSON to "application/json" (which is the value of HttpHeaderValues.ApplicationJson).

Angular2 Http Response missing header key/values

I'm making an http.patch call to a REST API that is successful (Status 200) but not all the response headers key/values are being returned. I'm interested in the ETag key/value.
Here is a code snippet:
let etag:number = 0;
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
headers.append('If-Match', String(etag));
this.http.patch(
'http://example.com:9002/api/myresource/',
JSON.stringify(dto),
{headers: headers}
)
.subscribe(
(response:Response) => {
let headers:Headers = response.headers;
let etag:String = headers.get('ETag');
console.log(etag);
}
);
When making the same call with a REST Client (Postman), the response header contains:
Content-Type: application/hal+json;charset=UTF-8
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 05:21:09 GMT
ETag: "1"
Last-Modified: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 05:15:32 GMT
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
X-Application-Context: application:dev:9002
Is the missing response header key/values a bug?
Can the issue be resolved with configuration?
This isn't an Angular issue, rather a CORS one. By definition, CORS will only return six "simple" headers: Cache-Control, Content-Language, Content-Type, Expires, Last-Modified and Pragma.
That's why you see the full set when using a REST client such as Postman, yet when calling from your Angular client, you'll only see the set limited by CORS.
To solve this, you'll need to add an Access-Control-Expose-Headers header along the following lines:
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Access-Control-Expose-Headers', 'etag');
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
return this.http.get(uri, options).map(this.extractData).catch(this.catchError);
Note that you may need to augment the server side code to support the required exposed headers.
In my case (C#), I revised the EnableCors call (within WebApiConfig) to include "ETAG" in the list of exposed headers (the fourth parameter of the EnableCorsAttribute function).

Luasocket custom headers, 404 turns to 301

My previous question was about fetching page title in lua using the socket.http module. The question lies here. Previously, youtube pages led me to a 404 error page. Based on MattJ's help, I put up custom HOST header for the request. This is what I did and what was the result:
Code
header = { host= "youtube.com" }
local result,b,c,h = http.request{ url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eT40eV7OiI", headers = header }
print ( result, b, c, h )
for k,v in pairs(c) do print(k,v) end
Result
1 301 table: 0047D430 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
x-content-type-options nosniff
content-length 0
expires Tue, 27 Apr 1971 19:44:06 EST
cache-control no-cache
connection close
location http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eT40eV7OiI
content-type text/html; charset=utf-8
date Sat, 28 Apr 2012 04:26:21 GMT
server wiseguy/0.6.11
As far as I was able to understand from this, the error is basically because of X-Content-Type-Options valued nosniff. Reading its documentation, I got to know that the only defined value, "nosniff", prevents Internet Explorer from MIME-sniffing a response away from the declared content-type.
Please help me so that I can use custom proxy and fetch the youtube(and some other sites, as mentioned in the previous question) title from their body. Here is the complete LUA file I currently have:
local http = require "socket.http"
http.PROXY="http://<proxy address here>:8080"
header = { host= "youtube.com" }
local result,b,c,h = http.request{ url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eT40eV7OiI", headers = header }
print ( result, b, c, h )
for k,v in pairs(c) do print(k,v) end
I believe this line should be changed:
header = { host= "youtube.com" }
To:
header = { host= "www.youtube.com" }
After that, works for me.
The solution is to install luasec and to use ssl.https module to do the request.
Answered here by Paul Kulchenko!
Example:
-- luasec version 0.4.2
require("ssl")
require("https")
-- ssl.https.request(...)
