How do i validate a URL redirect

Hi

 

I am currently trying to validate a URL redirect, we have a process that if you navigate to http on login it will redirect you to https.

I am using javascript but i am unalble to use indexOf in an if statement.

In short i want to know how i can say:

 

var Page = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*");
var url = Page.URL
IF (url == "https*")

{

//do something

Log.Message(url, "Page redirectd to https")

}

    You can use a property checkpoint for the URL property:

     

    var redirected = aqObject.CheckProperty(Page, "URL", cmpStartsWith, "https://");
    // The checkpoint posts a log entry

    if (redirected)
{
  // Do something
}

    var Page = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*");
var url = Page.URL

var searchresult = RegExp("^https.*$", "i").exec(url);
if (searchresult && searchresult.index == 0) {
  Log.Message(url, "Page redirectd to https");
  //do stuff
}

    Regular Expression Syntax

     

    You could replace https.* with a variable as well.

     

    var searchresult = RegExp("^" + someVar + "$", "i").exec(url);
