Problems with adding XSRF-TOKEN from Cookies into the Request header

[Adam Giemza]

Dear all,

I have a problem setting the XSRF token into the header. I can successfully parse it from the headers and save in the user session as follows

exec(http("request_secured")
  .get("/portal/secured/")
  .check(headerRegex("Set-Cookie", """XSRF-TOKEN=(.*)\s""").exists.saveAs("xsrfToken")))

Later on I want to use it in a request set in the header.

.exec(http("request_portal-entry")
.get("/portal/secured/template")
.headers(Map("X-XSRF-TOKEN" -> "${xsrfToken}")))

The problem is that the xsrfToken is URL encoded. I tried to call URLDecoder.decode but I simply don't know how to retrieve the value of the token from the session. The ${} expression is resolved somewhere deeper in the framework so I cannot simply pass this expression to the decode method.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
 Adam

.exec( session => {  session.set( "decoded", decode_function( session("encoded").as[String] ) ) } )

Does that help?

.header("X-XSRF-TOKEN", session => session("xsrfToken").validate[String].map(URLDecoder.decode)))

Dear John, thanks for the quick response. In the meantime I found the filter solution (the dropRight is for removing a tailing ; (semicolon)):

.check(headerRegex("Set-Cookie", """XSRF-TOKEN=(.*)\s""").transform(token => decode(token, "UTF-8").dropRight(1)).saveAs("xsrfToken")))

A better solution is to simply grab the XSRF-TOKEN from the cookies.

object Helper{

  def setXsrfHeader(session:Session): Validation[String] = {

    getCookie("XSRF-TOKEN", session).map(c => URLDecoder.decode(c, "UTF-8")) match {

      case Some(value) => Success(value)

      case None => Failure("Unable to find XSRF-TOKEN cookie")

    }

  }

  def getCookie(name:String, session:Session): Option[String] = {

    val cookieJar = session("gatling.http.cookies").as[CookieJar]

    cookieJar.get(Uri.create(baseUrl)).find(cookie => cookie.getName == name).map(_.getValue)

  }

}

Then use it...

http("POST")

 .post("/myurl")

   .header("X-XSRF-TOKEN", Helper.setXsrfHeader)

Thank you Peter! The way you explained worked for me.
