Consider below scenario:
Client --> Call1 ---> Server
Client <--- Response1 <--- Server
Client processes the response and makes another call
Client --> Call2 ---> Server
Client <--- Response2 <--- Server
Client processes the response and makes another call
Client --> Call3 ---> Server
Client <--- Response3 <--- Server
For above scenario, which tools should I use to make the calls, process the response and measure the response time for the server calls.
Does SOASTA has this capability or any other tool?
What are the things I should keep in mind when doing this?
Without any code changes, you can use Runscope to log and measure API calls. From the Traffic Inspector, click on URL Builder. Enter the URL of the API that you're calling, and you'll see a Runscopified URL below it. Any call that you make to the Runscopified URL will proxy through Runscope to the original destination URL.
In Traffic Inspector, you'll see the HTTP traffic appear, showing you the details of each request (request headers/body/params, response headers/body, status codes, response times, etc.) Again, no need to change any code -- just your request URL, and you'll have full visibility into your API traffic between your client and server.

Is it possible to check Http status code in Apache configuration as %{REQUEST_STATUS} for instance?
There is no such thing as a "request status", and no way for a server to interact with a browser in the middle of serving an error message.
HTTP is not an interactive protocol; the browser sends a request, the server sends a response, and that's it. So if the browser sends a request, and the application crashes, the server can send a response with 500 and the error details, or a response with 401 requesting the user to log in. Either way, that's the end of the conversation.
When it receives a 401 response, the browser can't say "here's the login details, carry on with the current request", it has to make a new request. It can make an identical request, which might reproduce the error message; but the original error message is gone.
If the requirement is to show a different amount of detail to different users, you need some notion of optional authentication, so that the server can decide immediately whether to include the error details or not, without an extra round-trip to the browser. I would suggest either:
Have a list of IP addresses which the application can check against; if the IP address of the request is in the list, include the error details.
Have a custom login system where you can authenticate and set a "session cookie" in the browser. If the user has an active session cookie, include the error details.
When writing an HTTP server using akka-http’s high-level Route API, is there a way to be notified that the request timeout has expired, or to check whether it is expired, or to check how much time remains? In implementing an expensive route, I would like to stop performing work on a request if the request times out.
Akka-http’s request timeout responds to HTTP requests with status code 503 Service Unavailable: “The server was not able to produce a timely response to your request.
Please try again in a short while!” It is configured using akka.http.server.request-timeout, which is 20 s by default.
I have a web server that is currently running my asp.net mvc website. I am making a connection to an external website that sends a request back to the server via a specific URL and attaches the information sent as a query string.
I have no idea if this query string being sent is in the correct format but I do know that the action result function is being called. I need to see what requests are being sent to the server so that I can see the format in which the request was sent.
I know how to view the currently executing requests using the request monitor, but this is not enough since you can miss the request if it happens to fast.
Is it possible to view a history of requests that have occurred on the server? So that I may find the one that I need after the request has occurred.
We have started using Jitterbit. Thanks for the pretty good product.
Can anyone tell me what is the use of HTTP End Point ?
It is used for request or response ?
I believe it is used for only response. When external system send Response to us calling our HTTP end point, we will use the response data and process the operation.
Or else external server will request calling our HTTP End point, we will process the request using many operation .
HTTP endpoint is used to call the Jitterbit Server Endpoint
Let me explain...
Using Jitterbit you have called a webservice (External Source). You got the response same time. Here request and response used same http session.
You are expecting some response from external source after 2 days. You must have some listenerin the Jitterbit server. That listener will kick-in you jitterbit operations.
Ex:- External source will call below URL.
http://www.yourjitterbitsername:46908/endpoint
www.yourjitterbitsername :- Your jitterbit server
46908 : port number
endpoint :- Jitterbit Endpoint.
When external source hit the URL, it executes the corresponding Jitterbit Operation that you have mesnioned in the Http Endpoint synchronously or asynchronously. (You can do in settings)
You can store the request variable in to the jitterbit global variable. Request variable means, the request external source is requesting to the jitterbit server.
Whenever I try to call Magento's rest resources via PHP, I get an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. My link is, in accordance to Magento's REST API, http://mymagento.com/api/rest/products.
Everything is set up properly and whenever I try to access it via the browser, the response is a page with the XML data I want. Same thing goes for the RESTClient plugin for Firefox.
I also get the internal server error whenever I try to do an authorised request as a customer.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I ran out of ideas an hour ago or so.
If you just got that problem (only) then,
500 errors in the HTTP cycle
Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:
Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL
without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to
IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response.
This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by
the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other
useful information.
This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '500'. (Last updated: March 2012).
Fixing 500 errors - general
This error can only be resolved by fixes to the Web server software. It is not a client-side problem. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse the logs which should give further information about the error.
