[Resolved] Pass empty string to query parameter

I would like to know how i could pass an empty string to a parameter at the end of the url:

Example:

localhost:8080/myurl/cluster?name=

Thank you,

Peter
  • You need to set the query parameter as required and leave the parameter value empty. Please see the screenshot:

    Thank you for the reply,

    I would like to send a REST call using SOAPUI 4.5.1, but how would I be able to assign the name parameter in the soapui to have an empty string. When I enter %00 or %81 the url does not generate an empty string

    When I try to assign the name parameter through the SOAPUI it does not return.


    My apologies for not being clear in my original post.

    What does it generate? Do you have URL-Encoding disabled?

    This is the url that soap generates
    /cluster?name=%2500 - %00

    /cluster?name=%2581 - %81

    And no the Disable Encoding: of the resource method is not checked

    So you should check that and try again.

      Hi,

       

      How did you get this working? Where can i find the option to disable encoding of the resource method.

       

      i have 3 parameters request,name and code and i want to send empty for code.

       

      i tried %00 but, this is converted as %2500 

       

      Can you please help.
