IntelliJ has an HTTP client. When composing a file that is interpreted by the HTTP client, you can specify headers that go out to the server with the request, like so:
###
GET https://{{hostname}}/{{path}}
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: {{x-token}}
I want to find the actual value of the token that was used to replace the variable name, seen above as {{x-token}}, but I don't see any way to obtain the request headers. The response headers are obviously available, but not the request headers. See the image below for the test results that are shown after running the HTTP client inside Intellij:
Is there a way to display the REQUEST headers?
Link to IntelliJ Documentation - HTTP Client -- the documentation seems to never mention the actual request headers that are sent over the wire, but they do discuss how to define request headers in composing the .http file type.
Check the Tools | HTTP Client | 'Show HHTP Requests History' action.

I think I tried all the possible combinations of headers and body for my POST request in JMeter but is giving me 400 Bad Request saying that the languagePairID parameter from the body is invalid even tho it is exactly same as in Postman.
My headers:
And the request:
Meanwhile in Postman in works perfectly fine:
I tried checking and unchecking the multipart/form-data and browser-compatible headers, but nothing seems to help. I read that using Wireshark might be useful in such cases but I think for this one is not possible as it is HTTPS. I will be very grateful for any advice.
Uncheck "Use mutipart/form-data"
Remove everything from the "Body Data" tab
Switch to "Parameters" tab and put your parameters there:
Going forward be informed that you can easily convert your Postman script into JMeter:
Start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Import JMeter's certificate to Postman
Configure Postman to use JMeter as the proxy
Run your request in Postman
JMeter will capture the request and generate relevant HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager

I'm trying to retrieve Set-Cookie from response header I send using MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0.
But the response header doesn't include this type. Just standard ones like Agent, Server, Accept etc.
When I monitor network it is being sent.
I cannot use WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 because it says 'No credentials were available in the client certificate' even if I sent one with the request.
Can anyone help me with that?
I am trying to carry out a test as like it explained here:
JMeter Alter HTTP Headers During Test.
Quote from above :
I'm attempting to test an HTTP service with JMeter. The HTTP service requires authentication through a simple bearer token mechanism. I'm trying to proceed as follows:
POST authentication request Store token as a variable
Set Authorization HTTP header to stored variable
Request protected resource(s)
Evaluate performance
When the POST occurs, I am not able to capture the bearer token. Its a header.
I tried the solution provided by Dmitri on that issue Or as Bennet tried with RegEx Extractor and HTTPs Manager.
I think I am doing something silly not to able to extract the token. Any thoughts how to extract the token?
Most likely your Regular Expression Extractor configuration is not correct, by default it:
uses response body as a source therefore you need to switch it to look into response headers (red rectangle)
looks up in main sample only, if your header is set after redirect it won't be processed (amber rectangle)
Example configuration:
You can double check ${bearer} variable value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
Talking about HTTP API/HTTP Web server, what is the HTTP response code that the server should returns in case the client did not apply a URL encoding to requests params. I tried to look into HTTP RFCs but nothing specific or useful regarding that.
If the request is invalid, you can return a 400 Bad Request status.
400 Bad Request
The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications.

If you want to send a more informative or specific response, you can provide additional details in the response body.
I'm using Restler's API Explorer (a fork of Swagger UI) and when I test a service call there it works fine but when I cut and paste the same URL into Chrome's Advanced REST Client I get a "403 Forbidden" error. How can that be? Is there some sort of required header parameter that needs to be passed with the request?
Here are the screen shots:
You need to get the content type right. Make sure you are sending the data as JSON (application/json)
You need to add a header
Content-Type application/json
