I'm working with an API which provides a HTTP header called token with value 12abc3 and my url is https://example.com/view/quote. Is there a way by which I can add the header as a parameter in the url so that I can type it directly on my browser's address bar instead of using cURL orHurl.it??
The only way I can imagine being able to do this would be to write a small HTTP proxy that takes a specially formatted URL and extracts header values out of the URL and re-issues the request for you. I'm not aware of any service to do this automatically for you.
I think it's too late to reply but for those who still finding the solution
you can send your token through url like this
https://yoururl?Authorization=Bearer yourtokenhere

I am trying to do a performance testing for a project where the main URL performs a redirection and the redirection URL returns the token needed to proceed further.
I recorded the script with Jmeter and i can see that the main URL does the redirection with status code as "302" as expected and has the "Location" header in the response body.
But when the redirection URL is hit after the main URL as the sub sample, it returns "307 temporary redirection" in response header and an error message in the response body as "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing location header in redirect for GET "
I checked the same scenario in Neoload and i could notice that request sent in Neoload for rediection URL is same as the one sent in JMeter, the response header also matches. But Neoload was able to display the response body with the expected token. In Jmeter, it returned the error message.
Can someone clarify why the response body is not displayed in Jmeter if the same request can work in Neoload. I made sure there is no difference in the request header/body sent for the main URL.
I am pretty sure the issue is related to Jmeter but not sure how to get the proper response body.
Maybe there is more than one redirect and JMeter doesn't follow it.
You can play with Redirect automatically and/or Follow redirects boxes in HTTP Request sampler
also you can use a third-party sniffer tool like Wireshark or Fiddler to inspect which requests are actually being sent, pay attention to literally everything: URL, headers, body, etc.
It should also be possible to disable handling redirects in JMeter completely and extracting the redirect target from the Location header using Regular Expression Extractor or Boundary Extractor and manually add the next request giving the extracted URL in the "Path" field of the HTTP Request sampler
How do I make the tag carry the request header? I use the <a> tag to download. And I need to carry a token in the request header.
When you use a tag to download files or link to any document, in general, it is not possible to manipulate extra headers! Browsers will send the typical headers. To solve this problem, following are the alternative solutions.
Your token must be query parameter in the URL so that back-end server can read it.
Or you can use cookies to save the token and browser will ensure that cookies are sent for your request automatically. (For security, ensure that you cookie is HTTP only and rejects CORS requests)
Alternately, if you are not really after downloading the file or simply trying to show on browser, then you can use XHR or fetch where you are free to manipulate headers.
I was reading the mod_rewrite documentation but haven't found an example to match the following scenario.
The use will try to use a GET request to /api/getCars.
On apache I need to change this request to POST method, to a different server, like https://internal_server/getAllCars, and I need to add some content on the body of this request and send it as x-www-form-urlencoded Content Type.
Which apache module do I have to use to achieve this behavior.
Can anybody provide any example?
Thanks
Every time I send a API request to my server I want send informations like device type and OS version (from my mobile app). My first thought is to use User Agent but I wonder if there's any benefits to use custom http header like "X-deviceType" or/and "X-osVersion" instead.
I am using the X-Device HTTP Header.
Works well for the most part, however I have noticed that some requests from behind a proxy seem to be stripping the data from that header.
Apparently s3 supports urls in the form:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/file.txt?some_kind_of_auth_token
How do I generate a "secure" URL like this?
This is the official help which covers how to do this.
Look for the section called "Query String Request Authentication Alternative"
GET /photos/puppy.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE&
Signature=rucSbH0yNEcP9oM2XNlouVI3BH4%3D&
Expires=1175139620 HTTP/1.1
Here's a snip from the help page.
You can authenticate certain types of requests by passing the required information as query-string parameters instead of using the Authorization HTTP header. This is useful for enabling direct third-party browser access to your private Amazon S3 data, without proxying the request. The idea is to construct a "pre-signed" request and encode it as a URL that an end-user's browser can retrieve. Additionally, you can limit a pre-signed request by specifying an expiration time.
