Extracting Cookies from header

Extracting Cookies from header

• vijay_kbp

  An extraction rule is used to scrape information from the response of one request and pass the value to another request. The extracted value is placed into the "Test context". Any value in the test context can be bound to a property of a subsequent request.

  The built-in extraction rule "Extract HTTP Header" may be able to handle your case. If there is not a built in extraction rule, you can write a custom extraction rule. Here are some links to help you with extraction rules.

  I don't see anything obviously wrong, but what's special about this cookie Session cookies should be automatically carried over between requests within a web test.

  Rick,

  Thanks for the reply. Basically, I am using Coded Test and I extract the values using extraction handler. It is something like this:

  void request1_ExtractValues(object sender, ExtractionEventArgs e)

  {

  if (e.Response.ResponseUri.ToString() != null)

  {

  cpcsCookie = e.Response.Cookies["ML_SAML_ASSERTION"];

  e.WebTest.Context.CookieContainer.Add(new Uri(WSURL), cpcsCookie);

  //this.Context["cookie"] = e.Response.Cookies["ML_SAML_ASSERTION"];

  e.Success = true;

  return;

  }

  else

  {

  e.Success = false;

  e.Message = String.Format("No response URI found");

  }

  }

  when for second request i go to the grab the cookie using following code:

  System.Net.CookieCollection coll = this.Context.CookieContainer.GetCookies(new Uri(WSURL));

  I don't get the my cookie in the collection.

  Am i using "Test Context" correctly If not, please let me know the right approach.

  Thanks a lot.

  Have you looked into using the % new users setting It can be set on your load test scenario. New users start with no cookies and no file cache, but existing users will automatically carry over cookies and cached files.
