Im getting illegal character in JMETER for GET request -
https://dev1/api/v1/query/job/?filter={%22job_manager_id%22:%22553f2350-12d3-4252-8fe0-39691019c495%22}
tried replacing %22 with "" but still getting illegal character.
Any solutions ?
I think problematic characters are { and }, they need to be percent-encoded
The options are in:
Tick "URL-encode" box next to the filter parameter in the HTTP Request sampler :
Use __urlencode() function in "Path" field like
see Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction article to learn more about JMeter Functions concept
Or just hard-code the percent-encoded Path part like:
https://dev1/api/v1/query/job/?filter=%7B%22job_manager_id%22%3A%22553f2350-12d3-4252-8fe0-39691019c495%22%7D

I am trying to parse some special characters through the api's with Ktor in a KMM project but it seems like Ktor doesn't support it ?.
For eg :- I am trying to parse "Saut� Pans" here "�" is a special character and Ktor throws an exception saying :- io.ktor.utils.io.charsets.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1. Now I have tried passing different headers for example passing different ContentType to UTF-8 or ISO-8859-2 but didn't help.
Whereas parsing the same api response with Gson() works for me.
Any solution or workaround so that for now so that I can parse such kind of special characters in my response ?
You could try out
install(ContentEncoding){
gzip()
}
I am performing a search request in jmeter. So my test plan flow is home then login then product catalogue and then search. I tried to make a post request for search but it failing all the time. I used a CSV file so each time the query is changed. But then I used a get request and used the query variable in the search path like this search?query=${search_input}and then it passed but when i checked the html it is not the correct page. In the html response I also see this
{{noSearchResults.query}}'. But if i put the url on the browser it works fine. Can you please help me with this?
Double check that your ${search_input} variable has the anticipated value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
It might be the case that your ${search_input} variable contains special characters which need to be URL-encoded so you might need to wrap the variable into __urlencode() function like:
search?query=${__urlencode(${search_input})}
JMeter automatically treats responses with status code below 400 as successful, if you need to add an extra layer of check for presence of the results or absence of {{noSearchResults.query}} - use Response Assertion
I'm currently writing Automated REST API tests using Karate dsl and I'm encountering an issue when I try a kind of destructive test. Sending invalid query parameter.
I follow the recommendation from this post Karate: Query Param values are getting encoded who is to use the url only but it seems to not work with query parameter:
Scenario: Destructive testing - Illegal characters in parameters or payload
* def buildURL = 'http://127.0.0.1/identity/client?query={"idClient":{"$eq":9223372036854775807}}'
Given url buildURL
When method GET
Then status 400
error:
java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 39: http://127.0.0.1/identity/client?query={"idClient":{"$eq":9223372036854775807}}
I have the same kind of test for url path where it works fine, but for query param, this way does not seems to work.
To be clear, my goal is to send query params or at least the character { without url encoding
Any idea to solve that ?
Thanks in advance
karate version : 0.9.6
First, you are trying illegal characters as per the spec, so you may need to manually "URL-encode" the URL - and you already seem to be aware of all this, based on the link in your question. Maybe your server is not compliant with the spec.
Recommend you try upgrading to 1.0 and also refer this open issue: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/1561
Anything beyond this will require you to help / contribute code.
I have to test the below URL that contains special char:
url\search.html?q=*&Filters=template_fac_s:3f87222389034212a868c5c0cd12cacc|market_l1_fac_sm:e73956c2506442399dd73ed1eb0ec165
I am getting this error:
Response message: Non HTTP response message: Illegal character in query at index 121: url/search.html?q=*&Filters=template_fac_s:3f87222389034212a868c5c0cd12cacc|market_l1_fac_sm:e73956c2506442399dd73ed1eb0ec165
I think I need to encode the URL but I do not know how to do it . Does anyone know how to do this , can someone help.
Thanks.
JMeter provides __urlencode function which replaces characters which are not allowed in URL with url-encoded equivalents

EDIT: The NHTSA docs, as CBroe points out, say to replace an ampersand with an underscore. However, I'm also getting an error with forward slashes (albeit a different one, page not found, because it's decoding the slash), for example the make 'EXISS/SOONER':
http://www.nhtsa.gov/webapi/api/Recalls/vehicle/modelyear/1997/make/EXISS%2FSOONER?format=json
And replacing the ampersand with an underscore no longer results in an error message, but in zero results returned, which should not be the case.
ORIGINAL POST:
I'm trying to download the content from the following URL:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/webapi/api/Recalls/vehicle/modelyear/1997/make/s&s?format=json
And the site returns the following error message:
Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&).
The problem is the ampersand; a similar request for a different car make works:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/webapi/api/Recalls/vehicle/modelyear/1997/make/toyota?format=json
I have verified from a different endpoint that S&S is a valid make for the API.
Based on stackoverflow answers, I've tried all the following without success:
