Unable to capture a dynamic value for a huge number

Hi Team,

 

 

My dynamic value is like this --> MzYxOTc3MTY5MzIxODc3MDpTb2NrMQAqAD

So for the request where this response is found i'm correlating in the response tab using the following method:

Data selectors --> Crete data selector with wizard --> Get text between 2 values --> giving the text before and text after--> Replacing the value of the above dynamic value by (.*?).

 

And this value is present in URL's which I'm replacing with @variable. But it is giving error and not capturing the same.

 

Please let me know if i'm following the right method or no. I need this to be resolved ASAP as i'm having a license version and have to do a run soon.

      Hi Alex,

       

      Thanks Alex, i tried the steps mentoned.

      But when i try to verify the scenario and check the the request URL, it is capturing the new dynamic value but, instead of:

       

      MzYyMDQ0MDQ4MDI3OTA1MjpTb2NrMQAqADA=

      I'm getting -->

      MzYyMDQ0MDQ4MDI3OTA1MjpTb2NrMQAqADA%3D

       

      Is there any syntax to be used to the equals sigh (=) . Please let me know.

        Hi khirthanacv,

         

        %3D is the URL-encoded value for =. As = is a reserved character per RFC 3986, LoadComplete automatically encodes the values because you are inserting it into a URL (reference).

         

        Can you show me the URL that you've inserted the variable into, and maybe a screenshot of the simulated request header that is failing?
