This question was asked in a previous thread but their answer is not my issue and no other answer was posited. I have a HTTP request I would like to add to a load test. It is like this https://myhostname.net/internalservice-myhostnamestatus/v1/services/applicationstatus When i run this in SoapUI i get an incomplete response. If I simply load this into a browser it works just fine.It looks like SoapUI is actually sending https://myhostname.net/internalservice-myhostnamestatus/v1/services/applicationstatus HTTP/1.1 Is there a way to submit the request without appending it with HTTP/1.1?

Hi Lightem The HTTP/1.1 isn't actually going across in the request string - it's not like it's an extra parameter - it's just declaring the version of HTTP it's using - which yes strictly is being sent - but not in the request string - it's like a header - although it's not actually a header as far as I'm aware. Just had a look at a complete list of standard headers- nope - it's not a header What makes you think you are passing this across when you submit the request? is it just that you've see the string in the RAW tab indicates URI followed by HTTP/1.1? I think that's steering you down the wrong path. Ignore that for now and look at the differences between what you're submitting via the browser and your ReadyAPI!/SoapUI config - that's going to be the problem. Also - can you clarify what you mean by 'incomplete response' please? If you can provide the stacktrace for the request (ReadyAPI! log, response details etc.) that can only help people diagnose your issue, but I'd disregard the version of HTTP - that's not being added to your URI string. Cheers, richie

Raw response to SoapUI request: HTTP/1.1 200 Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:08:33 GMTContent-Type: application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1Transfer-Encoding: chunkedConnection: keep-aliveSet-Cookie: __cfduid=d673ca4bba1ce54f6f2b056cb2b225aed1551377313; expires=Fri, 28-Feb-20 18:08:33 GMT; path=/; domain=.mailinator.com; HttpOnlySet-Cookie: JSESSIONID=s3~60B72731C657FDA26FBAB97BAEAD9C94; Path=/; HttpOnlyExpect-CT: max-age=604800, report-uri="https://report-uri.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/beacon/expect-ct"Server: cloudflareCF-RAY: 4b04d6535a0f1ea7-SJC {"messages":[],"to":"addressID"} URI from SoapUI: https://api.mailinator.com/api/inbox?to=addressID%40mailinator.com&token=?&private_domain=true%20HTTP/1.1 Response when I copy the URI from SoapUI into browser: {"messages":[{"fromfull":"source@source.com","subject":"email subject","from":"source@source.com","origfrom":"source@source.com","to":"addressID","id":"emailID","time":1551375385000,"seconds_ago":573}],"to":"emailID"} It appears that the entirety of the "messages" is being ignored.

Also - can you clarify what you mean by 'incomplete response' please? By incomplete response, I am speaking to the issue of the missing message. Thank you for your reply to date richie . I appreciate your help.

Hey Lightem It took a bit of going through your message to work out the problem - for future reference if you try and lay out everything providing clear details - e.g. I am publishing a REST request (WHATEVER method - PUT, POST, GET) using this payload and this is the response etc. Anyway - right - when you say 'incomplete response' you mean the message array in the response payload appears empty. This is weird considering the response you get via your browser includes a populated message array in your .json response, but the response payload in ReadyAPI! is generated with an empty message array in the payload - so my first thought is you've got some eventhandler or something stripping the content in the response before it's presented - but you'd know about that if you'd gotten that setup - it's not like just hitting a checkbox by mistake! Ok - we need a bit of help to assist diagnosing this. Have you used Telerik's Fiddler before? You need to download that - its a packet/network sniffer like WireShark (except a lot easier to use). Download that - what you need to do is monitor the request when you try the submission in SoapUI and then compare with when you submit the request via the browser/postman or whatever. Essentially you are proxying the requests to Fiddler before they get to their specified endpoint - Fiddler will indicate whats going on. So follow the instructions here to setup Fiddler as ReadyAPI!/SoapUI proxy Once the Fiddler cert is setup and you're good to do - within Fiddler hit the 'Any Process' button to select the ReadyAPI! window as the target to proxy Submit your request in ReadyAPI! and watch the magic happen in the traffic window 1. Within ReadyAPI!, disable the proxy (button on mainscreen below main toolbar) 2. De-select ReadyAPI! as the target process (via the Any Process button) 3. Have you browser ready and copy in the URI to be submitted. 4. <Alt>+<TAB> to Fiddler and click the 'Any Process' button and select the browser window 5. Within the browser - submit your request - traffic will be recorded 6. De-select browser as the target process (via the Any Process button) Please post the results so we can review - RAW, HEADERS and JSON results for both the ReadyAPI and Browser requests please! Cheers, richie

Understood. I managed to get Fiddler working and configured and captured both. The RAW header and response from Chrome: GET https://api.mailinator.com/api/inbox?to=?%40mailinator.com&token=?&private_domain=true%20HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 Host: api.mailinator.com Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.119 Safari/537.36 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9 Cookie: __cfduid=d421be177b21122fcffa7164759d88f5c1547666655; JSESSIONID=s4~04C12A0D78A5976B550B2F01D68403D8 HTTP/1.1 200 Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2019 21:56:54 GMT Content-Type: application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1 Connection: keep-alive Expect-CT: max-age=604800, report-uri="https://report-uri.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/beacon/expect-ct" Server: cloudflare CF-RAY: 4b0e623178026c4c-SJC Content-Length: 344 {"messages":[{"fromfull":"leviosa@pivotal.io","subject":"Verify your account","from":"leviosa@pivotal.io","origfrom":"leviosa@pivotal.io","to”:”?”,”id”:”?”,”time":1551460931000,"seconds_ago":16483}],"to”:”?”} The Raw header and response from ReadyAPI!: GET https://api.mailinator.com/api/inbox?to=?%40mailinator.com&token=?&private_domain=true HTTP/1.1Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflateContent-Length: 0Host: api.mailinator.comConnection: Keep-AliveUser-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_181) HTTP/1.1 200Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2019 22:06:41 GMTContent-Type: application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1Connection: keep-aliveSet-Cookie: __cfduid=d49121eb87460e82b00850caa8f6a751f1551478001; expires=Sat, 29-Feb-20 22:06:41 GMT; path=/; domain=.mailinator.com; HttpOnlySet-Cookie: JSESSIONID=s4~B16B7590F17159CAAC26D55C4EAEC8BB; Path=/; HttpOnlyExpect-CT: max-age=604800, report-uri="https://report-uri.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/beacon/expect-ct"Server: cloudflareCF-RAY: 4b0e70841e9c6c22-SJCContent-Length: 63 {"messages":[],"to":"?"}

What makes you think you are passing this across when you submit the request? is it just that you've see the string in the RAW tab indicates URI followed by HTTP/1.1?

I think that's steering you down the wrong path. Ignore that for now and look at the differences between what you're submitting via the browser and your ReadyAPI!/SoapUI config - that's going to be the problem.
