automatically add request header to all calls

Hello,
I have project with many testcases already scripted. We now have a changing requirement such that all REST calls need to have header specified with a sessiontoken.
Is there a better way to do this then to go to each REST step and add this header ?

Thanks

Ali

    I know this is really old, but in case somebody finds it via web search:

     

    You can (at least now) add "Header" parameters up at the Resource level. They'll be copied down to all requests under them.

      hi,

      that sounds great, but what if you have 500 resources ?  :(

      Is there any way to apply a header to ALL of your resources ?

       

      EDIT : ok, the upper method works fine

      "then try adding a RequestFilter.filterRequest event with the following:

      def headers = request.requestHeaders
      headers.put( "test-header", "test" )
      request.requestHeaders = headers"

       

      Well, in fact it works pretty well ... too well: at each call, the header is added. It should happen only once.

      I'm trying to find a way to make it a 'one-shot' process ...

      Anyone has already been through this ?

       

       

      thanks

       

      Alex

    Hi!

    then try adding a RequestFilter.filterRequest event with the following:

    def headers = request.requestHeaders
    headers.put( "test-header", "test" )
    request.requestHeaders = headers

    This should set a "test-header" header on all outgoing requests.. could you use this?

    regards,

    Hi Ali,

    you could add it dynamically to all requests with an outgoing request filter.. would that be an option?
