Using a file as body for a request?

[Pedro Nascimento]

If I want to use a file i.e. image as the content of a request, is
there any way to do it?

Thank you!

I'm not really sure what you're asking. VCR doesn't make requests for
you or restrict how you make them (except for the fact it only
supports certain ruby HTTP client libraries).

So yeah...if you're using an HTTP client library that supports using a
file's content as the body of a request, then you can do it. That has
nothing to do with VCR, though.

Am I misunderstanding your question?

Rephrasing in a better way: If I have a huge text file that I want to be the body of my response. Instead of pasting it into the yaml, can I do it in another way?

I have the feeling this might be more of a YAML question than a VCR question. :>

The phrasing of your question suggests you are managing/modifying the
VCR YAML files by hand. You can do this, of course, but VCR is
designed to be completely automatic in this regard. There are valid
reasons to manually change the YAML file but you shouldn't do it as a
matter of course.

If you want VCR to automatically store the response body in a separate
file, something like this should work:

Caveats:

* I haven't tested that, so you may need to tweak it a bit to work.
* That assumes that each cassette will have only one HTTP
interaction. If you have multiple HTTP interactions in the same
cassette you will need to account for that some how and name the
response body files accordingly.

I'll take a look at it. Thank you very much!
