I am trying to send a http get request to whois application to get some information.
I do this using postman, the target url is http://www.whoisxmlapi.com/whoisserver/WhoisService?domainName=google.com&username=xxxxx&password=xxxxx
and i have tried to add parameters in header, but when i add them i face with an error The parameter domainName is missing.
here is the picture of postman:
What is the problem?
As you can see from your graphic, you added the values as headers. You need to click on "Params", next to the URL, and add the values there!

I'm trying to replicate a post request done normally by a website form via postman but the server returns 500 error.
the form website URL that I'm dealing with is here.
what I have done so far is investigate the network request using chrome or safari dev tools, copy the request as cURL, import the cURL in postman and do the request.
what can be the possible reasons for the failure and what are the alternative ways to achieve the same result?
Postman Headers:
Most probably you must have used invalid request body. The browser shows parsed json body and you might have copied incomple request body.
To get full body click view source and copy the full content.
I'm trying to test and API call for the Smartsheet API in Postman, but I keep receiving the same error. Even though I am defining the correct Content-Type as per the API documentation, the response I get is the error 1124, which is an invalid content-type header. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what is causing the issue. I have tried typing the header in the address and in the header tab in Postman, but neither option has given me the result I wanted.
Postman Screenshot
If I run the same request in Postman as your screenshot shows (except using my sheet ID), with the same headers that you're using, my request succeeds. i.e., if you're sending the Content-Type header with value application/json for this request, you should not be receiving the error message that you're reporting (1124 - invalid content-type header).
You would, however, receive that error message if you were either not including the Content-Type header at all OR if you were specifying an invalid value for the Content-Type header. A suggestion for troubleshooting: use Fiddler (or a similar tool) to examine the request that's being sent over the wire when you execute this request in Postman -- does it include the Content-Type header, and if so, what's the value of that header?
UPDATE:
Thanks for adding a screenshot of the body you're setting in Postman -- I believe that's the source of your issue. i.e., your Content-Type header says that the request body is in JSON format, but you're actually not sending JSON. To fix this: instead of specifying key/value pairs in Postman, select the raw radio button and specify the body in JSON format. Here's a screenshot of what that looks like:
localhost:8188/wh/authorizewithdev?successUrl=http://localhost:8188/wh/noop
I have the URL as above.
When I hit the URL manually, it redirects to localhost:8188/wh/noop
If we see the Network by pressing F12, we can see two API hits.
One is localhost:8188/wh/authorizewithdev?successUrl=http://localhost:8188/wh/noop
with status code 303, in that we can see the response headers and it has the cookie_ticket with some value. ( Ultimate goal is that I need this cookie_ticket so that I can perform other actions with the cookie_ticket)
Second one is localhost:8188/wh/noop with status code 200 and in this if we see the response headers and request header. But in this hit the cookie_ticket will be passed as a request header. Cookie_ticket will not be present in the response header.
So when I hit the post(localhost:8188/wh/authorizewithdev?successUrl=http://localhost:8188/wh/noop) and tried to get the header I am able to get the response headers of the second one. But the cookie_ticket is not present.So is there any option to get the response headers of the first API hit or is there any option to get the request headers of the second API.
Please share your thoughts
I got it by using
given().redirects().follow(false).when()
I'm trying to test some calls but the content-type is text no matter what I do. I try to specify as json or xml but it doesn't matter and not sure why:
I suspect you're getting confused about the Content-Type column, which shows the Content-Type of the response, not the request.
Double-click the Web Session to inspect the request and response using the Inspectors. The Request is shown in the top set of tabs while the Response is shown in the bottom set.
I developed a rest server, and I put it to run in localhost, and I'm trying to perform tests with JMeter, sending requests posts and gets (depends of called method).
I already send to Rest server and got result with JMeter in simple post requests, get requests, sending files with post, and sending a Json with post.
But I don't know how to send a Form-UrlEncoded object to server. My Rest server consumes application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and I need to send 3 String parameters.
There's some way to set the MimeType for every parameter and perform the test ?
I'm using Jmeter 2.7
[Update]
I solved this by disabling the option:
use multipart/form-data for post
And enabling:
redirect automatically
Instead of:
follow redirect
The parameters I put normally in the table "Send parameters with the Request" with each respective names.
For sending form parameters as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, add a header parameter Content-Type with value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The following steps is aplicable for Jmeter 2.3.4
Add a HTTP Header Manager under your http Request.
Add new parameter to HTTP Header Manager with name Content-Type and value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Uncheck "Use multipart/form-data for HTTP POST" of HTTP request.
Uncheck "Encode?" of each request parameter(not necessary).
kept "Content Encode:" text box of HTTP request as empty.
This won't work for PUT request.
For put request add parameters as path parameter and set Content-Type header then Jmeter will do by itself.
Here's the solution for HTTP POST with x-www-form-urlencoded testing with jmeter. You just folllow like these.
Go to Thread Group -> Add listener -> Views Result in table, View result Tree. To see the process of responding.
Have you tried to save your test using BadBoy or JMeter Proxy to see what your application actually sends?
To see what happens under the hood you can also use FireBug if you're using FireFox or Ctrl+Shift+i if you're on Chrome.
IllegalCharsetNameException will go immediately only after you will add the required content-type in HTTP Header Manager for HTTP request .
Hope this helps.
followed exact steps mentioned i still see an exception thrown
