Default request headers

[Juraj Martinka]

Hi, 

I wonder if it's possible to set default request headers for all requests.

To be specific, I want to set "User-Agent" header for all requests in a following method (called at the tests setup phase):

static configure(String host, String user, String password) {

        baseURI = host

        authentication = preemptive().basic(user, password);

        requestContentType(ContentType.JSON)

        defaultParser = Parser.JSON

        // TODO:

        // set default User-Agent request header

}

AFAIK, there is no (easy) way how to achieve this with rest-assured.

I checked com.jayway.restassured.internal.RequestSpecificationImpl#setRequestHeadersToHttpBuilder and found no way hot set headers globally.

Am I missing something?

PS: With HTTPBuilder it's quite easy:

            httpBuilder.defaultRequestHeaders.put('User-Agent', myUserAgent)

Hi, 

Yes this is possible by using a Request Specification:

RequestSpecification requestSpecification = new RequestSpecBuilder().addHeader("User-Agent", myUserAgent).build();

Once you have created the specification and you really want to apply it to ALL requests you can do like this:

RestAssured.requestSpecification = requestSpecification;

But you can also apply it in your setup:

given().spec(requestSpecification). ...
