"null/empty response" when using Status Code Assertions
Hi everybody,
I have a RESTful Webservice which returns a Http Status Code 204 (No Content).
I would like to validate that result using Soap UI Assertions.
So i inserted the assertion "Http Valid Status Codes" with Code 204.
But whatever i do - soap ui complains that it receives a "null/empty response"!
When I look into the RAW Result, I see - as expected - that I got an HTTP 204
from my REST-Service (please have a look at my attachment).
So it seems like a bug to me that soap ui complains that the response is empty!
I would expect that the test case is green, since I got the expected HTTP Status Code.
To workaround this problem, my Restservice simply returns something arbitrary - e.g. '-'.
Than soap ui doesn't complain any longer about the empty content of the response
(ok - it is no longer empty now
. But I think this is not what we want 
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any response,
Dirk
