Pass response header to subsequent REST calls

EDIT: I figured out the XSRF cookie value needs to be converted to a header. I will try to figure out how to do this. Like I said, I am new :)

 

New to SoapUI.

 

I am trying to connect to CloudEndure's API. So I created a test case with 2 REST calls. It will first POST  login and then GET a list of machines in a particular project. On the test case I set the option to maintain session data. The Login Post works fine and returns the following Token (or similar):

 

Set-Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN="+JhAOXvkjKHHlapUkz9rMSKqg==\012"; Path=/
Set-Cookie: session=.eJxNj11rgzAUhv_KONdS_Ej9gsLGoAUHHR3YJKG8FG87ia5d6X-fjl3s8ry8PO9zbsCKQg_K0mGQAtIbPAyQgicikpSx5ws_JB4PkjBmbsx9vkySKMIS7g40zFjKCitHpFa2CKm3JISEoU-iReQGbuQ50GHfSmOkVgbSj4nOJ3re7uvT02o1Uf6SfZB1YpP_S3YH0XD1lnG1dY-Hi4H7pwM9MkG1aq600ZVUkJasMejAYLBXbFYAczUWW0NRTQXEXqrqsRBd3S0K3YIDI_azzdQcyXReTF9Sq8-ofn-fl1_cTu_y5Cj345pv1l_7gw1f37NtEdSX07ebPFez-f0H84JkbA.DvBAxw.yxIsdjDzNWWWqL_55NQ0qaMr-U8; HttpOnly; Path=/

I need to be able to use that in the following requests(I think). This is what the todo says on their docs.

https://console.cloudendure.com/api_doc/apis.html#tag/authentication

@todo: fix re use of XSRF-TOKEN cookie + X-XSRF-TOKEN header Upon successful authentication, 
this method returns a session identifier cookie that can be used to authenticate subsequent API calls.

Login: 14:31:54,842 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$SoapUIDefaultClientConnection] Receiving response: HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established

 

Get Machine List:

14:31:59,947 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$SoapUIDefaultClientConnection] Sending request: GET /api/latest/projects/-myProjectIDHere-/machines HTTP/1.1
14:32:00,350 DEBUG [SoapUIMultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$SoapUIDefaultClientConnection] Receiving response: HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED
14:32:00,351 DEBUG [HttpClientSupport$SoapUIHttpClient] Connection can be kept alive indefinitely
14:32:00,351 DEBUG [HttpClientSupport$SoapUIHttpClient] Target requested authentication
14:32:00,351 WARN [HttpClientSupport$SoapUIHttpClient] Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}

 

What do I need to do? Thanks.

 

This is a snippet from a working Python script that may help:

import requests
import json
import sys

HOST = 'https://console.cloudendure.com'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}


if len(sys.argv) != 3:
  print "Usage: CloudEndureAPIExample.py CLOUDENDURE_USERNAME CLOUDENDURE_PASSWORD"
  sys.exit(10)

session = {}

endpoint = '/api/latest/{}'
login_data = {'username': sys.argv[1], 'password': sys.argv[2]}
r = requests.post(HOST + endpoint.format('login'), data = json.dumps(login_data), headers = headers)
if r.status_code != 200 and r.status_code != 307:
  print "Bad login credentials"
  sys.exit(1)

# check if need to use a different API entry point
if r.history:
  endpoint = '/' + '/'.join(r.url.split('/')[3:-1]) + '/{}'
  r = requests.post(HOST + endpoint.format('login'), data = json.dumps(login_data), headers = headers)

session = {'session': r.cookies['session']}
headers['X-XSRF-TOKEN'] = r.cookies['XSRF-TOKEN']
...

    hi,

    you can achive the solution using below steps.

    1)hit the login step

    2) add a groovy script after the login step:

    *************************************************************************************

    import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
    import java.util.Map;
    import org.json.simple.parser.*;
    import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap

    def jsonRes=context.expand('${login#response}')
    def json=new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonRes)
    log.info json.session.value
    def headers = new StringToStringMap()
    headers.put("Cookie",json.session.value)
    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("getIssue").testRequest.setRequestHeaders(headers)

    *********************************************************************************************************************

    3) like above you can loop all the step and set the headers value in one go and run the steps.
