how to create a POST request, which should submit an xml data with url.

[srikant]

Dear All,

I am assigned to conduct Performance testing for an application, which
accepts only POST request. The input is an xml data, which we need to
submit, but we have to submit by POST request. I used
web_custom_request, but still am getting the error that the
application only accepts POST request, no GET requests. Please find
the web_custom_request below, which is the one i used:-

web_custom_request("url",
"URL=url?<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE
PreAuthMaintDetailRequest SYSTEM \"PreAuthMaintDetailPOARequest.dtd
\"><PreAuthMaintDetailRequest><XMLVersion>xmlVersion</XMLVersion></
Generator></PreAuthMaintDetailRequest>", // Due to
"Method=POST",
"TargetFrame=_SELF",
"Resource=1",
"Referer=",
"Mode=HTTP",
"EncType=text/xml,multipart/related",
"Body=",
EXTRARES,
"URL=url", ENDITEM,
LAST);

Is there any that we can submit the xml data by POST request. Could
you please help me out in solving the same?
Thanks for the support...

Why are you sending the XML payload in the URL? Use the "Body" attribute in the web_custom_request to send the payload...

You have a post request. But your likely missing a SOAP header, would be
my guess.

Next question: Did you record the web_cusutom_request() or build it by
hand?

look up the following in the docs

HP LoadRunner Virtual User Generator User's Guide > Information for
Advanced Users > Programming with the XML API

It has many sample code examples that you can use.

Technically it is allowed to combine a HTTP POST with an url with
parameters (see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html ).
This one looks very strange...
In your web_custom_request the xml in the url is NOT urlencoded. That
will fail.
But most likely the xml should be moved to the "Body=" section.

If you can't record the required POST, then use Wireshark to figure
out how to build your own.

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply. Infact, i moved the xml data to body attribute
and ran the script. But still the application gets Get request and is
rejected. I manually created the web_custom_request, didn't recorded
it.I tried a few SOAP headers, but didn't worked out. In this case,
what could be the SOAP header that i can use.
Is it like do we have any other statement in VuGen exclusively for
POST request?

Thanks

Sure venkat. I will look check this...thanks

Will be good if you can get the correct body and header from one of
the developers of your application/analyze some app logs.

I dont think anyone can Predict" what header your request might be
using.

web_custom_request should be sufficient for this purpose.

[James Pulley]

I would suggest you record a few applications with
web_custom_request() only as the recording option. As you are hand
tuning this item I think you need some more samples from actual
applications to see where your hand-tuned example has come off of the
tracks. Use an application you are familiar with which also has
this same post model.

As for me, I would just use VUGEN as a proxy and pass the actual XML
using some other tool through VUGEN and record the interaction rather
than constructing it by hand.

Srikant, This is how I did it and it is working perfectly fine for me.

char xmlRequest[500];

        strcpy(xmlRequest,lr_eval_string("Body=<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>"));
   
        strcat(xmlRequest,lr_eval_string(
                        "<profiles>"
                          "<simpleProfile>"
                            "<customerID>{PE_CustIDs}</customerID>"
                          "</simpleProfile>"
                        "</profiles>" ));

web_add_auto_header("Accept","application/xml");

    web_custom_request("RequestName",
       "URL=http://{UR_ServerNameHere}/WhateveServicePathHere/getwhatever",
       "Method=POST",
       "TargetFrame=",  
       "Resource=0",
       "Referer=",
       "Mode=HTTP",
       xmlRequest,
       LAST);

Hey,

You can refer this sample web_custom_request. This will help you understand how to build your own request.

web_custom_request("alertRecipients",

"URL=http://something.something.com",

"Method=POST",

"TargetFrame=",

"Resource=0",

"RecContentType=text/xml",

"Referer=http://something.something.com",

"Snapshot=t58.inf",

"Mode=HTML",

"Body=method=post&httpStatus=F&xml={XML_Data}",

LAST);

Hi Experts,

I am also facing the same problem. I have a sample xml request. Which i am trying to simulate through http protocol - Web_custom_request.

But i am getting a 404 not found error.

When i tried to hit the xml using fiddler. It passed successfully. I doubt on the header i am passing. 

Appreciate quick help here. I have attached the received xml file for reference.
