How do I verify the contents of an endpoint that downloads a zip file containing a csv file?

[Shelley Tong]

I have a endpoint I want to test out. I'll call GET with it and it's supposed to download a zip file containing a csv file. I want to verify that the contents of that csv file is correct.

When I hit the endpoint in Postman, the headers look something like this:

content-disposition: "attachment; filename=filename.zip"

content-encoding: gzip content-length: 4321

content-type: "application/zip"

vary: Accept-encoding

On the Rest-Assured response though, when I printed out response.contentType(), I got text/html; charset=utf-8. I was going to try to try to get the response byte in bytes[] and then see if it matches the content I'm expecting in the CSV file but since the content-typedoesn't match what I'm expecting, I don't think I can do that.

Also, how do I check the content-disposition of my response?

Any pointers?

If the server is sending you back a text/html response, it's probably not the .zip file you're expecting. Are you sure you're sending the correct Accepts headers in your request?

Once you do get a response that contains a .zip file, then you could extract the body as a byte[] or a String or an InputStream that you could send to a file. Do whatever is easiest for what you want to check about the contents of the .zip file.

Lastly, Content-Disposition is just a header on a response, right? How do you test to make sure other headers are what you expect?
