How to get header data from a RAW response into a parameter

Question

I need to get a url in the header from a RAW response into a parameter.
How can I get the Location url into that parameter named e.g. location ?

The complete raw response (including body) looks like this:
----------------------
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Server: some-server-idenifier
Location: https://some-server:some-port/some/url/unique-token
Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:11:11 GMT
Content-Type: application/some-content-type
Content-Length: 2

[]

Hi,what kind of requests are these two? (REST, SOAP, HTTP?)regards,/OleSmartBear Software

HiThey are https calls.I was thinking of having a DataGen (script) to get the url but can't figure out how to parse the response in a correct manner :/

Hi,ok - are these HTTP TestSteps ? or REST ?  (need to know so I can create the right script..)thanks,/OleSmartBear Software

HTTP test steps and I can retrieve the complete response (as described above) with:
def str = new String(testRunner.testCase.testSteps["init"].testRequest.response.rawResponseData)
return str
.. in a DataGen
