Here is slightly improved answer based on the fact that -

  • to match data of any given header both in request and response
  • provide name of the header you wanted to assert i.e., is response header compared with request
  • Say a test case custom property HEADER_NAME and value as 'Cookie' in this case (can be any header in fact)
/**
* checks if given HEADER_NAME in request vs response
* also its value and size
* Assumes, a custom test case property HEADER_NAME is defined with 
* appropriate value lie Content-Type, Cookie etc., any thing for that matter
* This can be used as Script Assertion
**/
def key=context.testCase.properties['HEADER_NAME'].value
def isHeaderInRequest = messageExchange.requestHeaders.containsKey(key)
def isHeaderInResponse =  messageExchange.responseHeaders.containsKey(key)
assert isHeaderInRequest == isHeaderInResponse, "Header ${key} cound not found either in request or response"
def headerValueInRequest = messageExchange.requestHeaders[key].value
def headerValueInResponse = messageExchange.responseHeaders[key].value
printLog("Request", key, headerValueInRequest)
printLog("Response", key, headerValueInResponse)
assert headerValueInRequest == headerValueInResponse, "${key} value mismatch between request and response"
assert headerValueInRequest.size() == headerValueInResponse.size(), "${key} value size mismatch"

def printLog = { message, key, value ->
	log.info "${message} - Header - \n${key} : ${value} \nsize : ${value.size()}"
}

Hope this is what you are looking for in the first place.

Hi Rao

 

Before practicing your code, I would say appreciate very much.

I feel I need to give you more details about my questions. 

My task is to use soapUI to test the API which is already deployed to test box. Before using soapUI, I have tried login from web browser, no matter FF or Chrome and open web development tool (click F12 as we known). From the network tab showing, I can see the first method is login, which is Post method, then lots of Get methods and another Post method which is logevent. From that Post method, I can see the token Id.

I thought I can use soapUI to do the same things. Am I right?

I recon, the first step of request is login to the box, which should be a Post method. Yes it seems works and got http headers:

 

Date Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:08:32 GMT
Transfer-Encoding chunked
#status# HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Expires Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
Keep-Alive timeout=10
Content-Type text/html;charset=UTF-8
Connection Keep-Alive
X-Powered-By Servlet 2.5; JBoss-5.0/JBossWeb-2.1
X-Powered-By JSF/1.2
Pragma no-cache
Cache-Control no-cache
Cache-Control no-store
 

But the size is quite different from what I got from web browser development tool Network tab showings. Why?

This is my first question. 

Then I tried using groovy scripts and hope to get more details of Cookies but no luck so far.

 

After the first step of login, I expect to use the soapUI request with Get method to test the API -  to get the bundle of json data which the API should return. It works on web browser of course. But I am stuck on soapUI...

I am wondering how to fetch the useful parameter from the first step and then HOW to re-use them to the following requests to test the API. 

This is my second question.

Hope you can help?

Thank you very much.

 

Cheers
