Need to update/set Header Values through groovy scripting

Hi,

I have created a REST Mock response. To invoke the response; I have the URI and request body.

def Accept = mockRequest.getRequest().getHeader("Accept")
log.info(Accept)

This is giving me /* as response in console, but I need to update it as "application/json"

def Method = mockRequest.getRequest()

log.info(Method)

This is giving me ...

POST rest/login

Accept: /*

Content-Type: application/json

Content-Length: 8

......

But what I want is along with the request body like

POST rest/login

Accept: application/json

Content-Type: application/json

Content-Length: [length of this message]

{'username':'admin', 'password': 'admin'}

How can I update or set the request header and the body through the script ?

Hi,

Is this the sort of thing you mean i.e. to set the mock's response Accept header using Groovy in a mock despatch script:

def headers = mockResponse.responseHeaders headers["Accept"]=["application/json"] mockResponse.responseHeaders=headers

?

Regards,

Rupert

  Similar to what you have posted. What you showed me is the response, but what I need is in the request section.
  
  I am getting this as request body ...
  
  POST rest/login
  Accept: /*
  Content-Type: application/json
  Content-Length: 8
  
  but I need it like this ...
  
  POST rest/login
  Accept: application/json
  Content-Type: application/json
  Content-Length: [length of this message]
  {'username':'admin', 'password': 'admin'}
  
  AND POST IT AS REQUEST BODY. WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE ?

    Hi,
    
    OK, I think I must have got the wrong take on what you are trying to do.
    
    So, you say you are creating a mock response... I took this as creating a response for a standard SoapUI REST Mock?
    
    Where you want to add the Accept header using groovy, do you instead mean that you want to use SoapUI and Groovy to make a REST request to a mock and want to add the Accept header using Groovy?
    
    Please explain a little more of what you are trying to do.
    
    Thanks,
