How to add addtional HTTP header to all the Rest Requests

I have a script, which would add the additional header field without disturbing the existing headers. Please feed this script in a Groovy test step and execute. This would apply the new header for all the REST request within the project.

import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap 

//Get through all the test steps in the project
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites.each
{
    suite ->
    suite.getValue().testCases.each
    {
        q1->
        q1.getValue().testSteps.each
        {
                       it->
                       if (it.getValue().config.type.equals("restrequest"))
                       {
                               //Get the headers of the current teststep
                               def headers = it.getValue().getHttpRequest().getRequestHeaders()
                               def list = []
                               //Append the new header to the existing list
                               list.add("en;q=0.8")
                               headers["Accept-Language"] = list;
                               //Set the updated header list
                               it.getValue().getHttpRequest().setRequestHeaders(headers)
                       }
        }
    }
}
log.info("************************************************\n Done ! New Header Appended to all teststeps!\n************************************************ ")

Hope this answers your need!

This can be done in both automated and manual ways.

Looks like, you already know how to add the header to each request manually.

In order to be able to do it in automated fashion, it requires 'Events' feature which is available  out-of-the-box in Pro editions[ReadyAPI/SoapUI Pro].

However, for open source edition, there is an extension available here, please follow the instructions.

https://github.com/nmrao/soapuiExtensions

Once you followed the instructions, need to add the code given below to in %SOAPUI_HOME%/scripts/RequestStepBeforeSubmit.groovy file to add the custom http header. So that above extension would execute this groovy file before submitting the request.

Here is code that goes into above groovy file:

if (submit.request.testStep instanceof com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep) {
	submit.request.requestHeaders['Accept-Language'] = ['en;q=0.8']
}

The mentioned header will be added run time for each Rest Request Test step.

If you do not want to add any header you may just comment it out or add conditionally as well.

 The whole above will just  act as similar to(Pro) SubmitListener.beforeSubmit() and add the above code.
