TestComplete can read a value from a URL and write it into an HTTP header when requesting a web page. You can use the "WebUtil" object in TestComplete to send HTTP requests and modify the headers.

 

Here is an example of how you can read a value from a URL and write it into an HTTP header using TestComplete:

  1. First, you need to get the value from the URL. You can use the "UrlParser" object in TestComplete to parse the URL and extract the value you need. For example:

 

 

 

var value = UrlParser.GetUrlParameter("key");

This will extract the value of the "key" parameter from the URL and store it in the "value" variable.

  1. Next, you can use the "WebUtil" object to send an HTTP request and modify the headers. You can use the "WebUtil.AddHeader" method to add a header to the request. For example:

 

 

 

WebUtil.AddHeader("X-Custom-Header", value);

This will add an HTTP header called "X-Custom-Header" to the request and set its value to the "value" variable that you extracted from the URL earlier.

  1. Finally, you can use the "WebUtil.Navigate" method to send the request and navigate to the desired web page. For example:

 

 
WebUtil.Navigate("http://example.com");

This will send an HTTP request to the specified URL with the "X-Custom-Header" header set to the value extracted from the URL.
