Script Assertion To Grab 4 'Set-Cookies' To Set 1 'Cookie' Header In Follow Up Request
Hi,
This is related to my other 'cookie' post - but that other post has side tracked onto another issue I need to solve - so I've created a second post with a specific issue.
A while back nmrao created the script assertion below to extract the 'Set-Cookie' http header values and write them to corresponding 'Cookie' http headers, so if 4 'Set-Cookie' headers are included on the initial request, 4 'Cookie' headers with the relevant values (including all the additional header value attributes) are added to the nextStep.
//Courtesy of Rao
//This script assetion reads the http response, //collect the cookies for the next http request //Provide the next step name where you want to set the Cookie to the request or //Use property expansion for below def nextStepName = 'REST Request' def nextRequest = context.testCase.testSteps[nextStepName].httpRequest def headers = nextRequest.requestHeaders if (messageExchange.responseHeaders.containsKey('Set-Cookie')) { log.info "Found Cookie in the response headers" def cookiez = messageExchange.responseHeaders['Set-Cookie'].value def list = [] cookiez.each { cookies -> //def (name, value) = cookies.toString().split('=',2) list.add(cookies.toString()) } headers['Cookie'] = list } else { log.warn "Not Found Cookie in the response headers" } nextRequest.requestHeaders =
The above is great - exactly what I was told I needed - however, what the developers have now told me is that what I need is slighlty different from the above - despite them saying the above gave me what I need! aah! frustrating!
The http Set-Cookie/Cookie theory (according to the following links (link1 and link2) indicates that the 'Set-Cookie' header values (without the additional attributes) are used to populate the follow up single Cookie header value.
so if we receive in the initial message
Set-Cookie: returnurl=345678; Max-Age=3600; Expires=Tue, 18-Jun-2019 22:58:30 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: authtype=234567; Max-Age=3600; Expires=Tue, 18-Jun-2019 22:58:30 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: state=123456; Max-Age=3600; Expires=Tue, 18-Jun-2019 22:58:30 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: nonce=456789; Max-Age=3600; Expires=Tue, 18-Jun-2019 22:58:30 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly
The follow up request would have ONE individual 'Cookie' http header and the value would be made up of the semi colon delimited Set-Cookie values without the additional attributes - so the follow up message's 'Cookie' header would appear as follows:
Cookie: returnurl=345678; authtype=234567; state=123456; nonce=456789
Apparently what I've described above is standard http Set-Cookie/Cookie handling and I was told I should've known about this already!
I'm stuck updating the script.
Essentially I need to concatenate all the Set-Cookie header VALUES into a single string (semi colon delimiter for each value) - but strip out the additional attributes like Max-Age, Expires, http, secure etc.
Can anyone help out? I know I'm asking a lot here - especially when everyone's already helped so much already
I need to pass the 4 'Set-Cookie' header values into the 1 'Cookie' value (stripping out all the attributes so the only the Set Cookie header values are included - apparently this is supposed to be how http 'Set-Cookie' and http 'Cookie' headers work. The server sends the Set-Cookie headers to tell the client to send a single Cookie http header and the value populating the Cookie are.
Thanks guys - really!

Finally, simulated the issue.
Here you go:
def nextStepName = 'REST Request' def headerToLook = 'Set-Cookie' def headerToSet = 'Cookie' def nextRequest = context.testCase.testSteps[nextStepName].httpRequest def headers = nextRequest.requestHeaders def showHeaderCount = {msg -> log.info "Header count ${msg} is: headers.size()" } showHeaderCount('before') if (headerToSet in headers.getKeys()) { headers.remove(headerToSet) showHeaderCount('after') } if (messageExchange.responseHeaders.containsKey(headerToLook)) { log.info "Found ${headerToLook} in the response headers" def cookiez = messageExchange.getResponseHeaders().get(headerToLook) def computedValue = cookiez.collect { it.split(';').first()}.join('; ') log.info "Value for Cookie header is evaluated to : ${computedValue}" headers.put(headerToSet, computedValue) log.info 'Headers updated' nextRequest.requestHeaders = headers log.info headers } else { log.warn "Not Found ${headerToLook} in the response headers" }
