How to get access to Http request data

[manish-panwar]

Hello,

I am using maven plugin to start the server and given below is how ExpectationInitializer is implemented.

@Override
public void initializeExpectations(MockServerClient mockServerClient) {
    // Allow any request and respond 200
    mockServerClient.when(request()).respond(handleRequest());
}

private HttpResponse handleRequest() {
    return HttpResponse.response().withStatusCode(200);
}

We have 1000+ scenarios to automate, and we want mock server to respond specific response body & headers based on header value coming from client request(basically client will pass on a header which can be used to determine a file name which contains the expected response that to be returned).

We don't want to have 100s of condition while we can have a generic implementation which can generate the response body based on header key.

So far I could see that HttpRequest object contains only the matcher data, not the actual HTTP request body/headers.

Thanks, Manish

This is the response returned by Mock Server.

    {
      "statusCode" : 200,
    }

This is the request content/header I need access to. I see this in logs, but can't access it in HttpRequest object.

    {
      "method" : "GET",
      "path" : "/Microsoft",
      "headers" : [ {
        "name" : "Host",
        "values" : [ "localhost:8083" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "User-Agent",
        "values" : [ "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.86 Safari/537.36" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Postman-Token",
        "values" : [ "a27341d9-cdef-e8cf-db99-71ca5d36f082" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Cache-Control",
        "values" : [ "no-cache" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "expected-response-file",
        "values" : [ "expected-response-file" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "aw-tenant-code",
        "values" : [ "1H2BA4AAAAG5A6UAADQA" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Content-Type",
        "values" : [ "application/json" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Accept",
        "values" : [ "*/*" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Accept-Encoding",
        "values" : [ "gzip, deflate, sdch" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Accept-Language",
        "values" : [ "en-US,en;q=0.8" ]
      }, {
        "name" : "Content-Length",
        "values" : [ "0" ]
      } ],
      "keepAlive" : true,
      "secure" : false
    }

I think all you need to implement is an instance of org.mockserver.mock.action.ExpectationCallback, this will allow you to dynamically create a response based on data in the request and therefore have a single expectation and instance of org.mockserver.mock.action.ExpectationCallback that supports all 100s different header-file combinations. For more details see: http://www.mock-server.com/mock_server/creating_expectations.html#callback

I'm going to close this ticket as I think this give you everything you need, please feel free to re-open if you have further queries.
