  • 1.  how to change Default META response while virtualizing ?

    Posted Sep 12, 2019 04:00 AM
    Hi,

            Is there a way we can change the default META response and HTTP-Response-Code of Meta Data while virtualizing from scratch using RR pairs. 


    Default META response 

    <html>
    <head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
    <body>
    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
    <hr/>
    <p><i>The DevTest VSE service could not match your request to a recorded request.&nbsp; Consider expanding your service image.</i></p>
    <br/><font size="-2">Produced by a DevTest virtualized web server.</font>
    </body>
    </html>

    The metadata for the META can be con trolled via sidecar files during RR-pairs recording (search the documentation for sidecar)

     

    The META response cannot be controlled that way, the META response as you probably know comes from the first RR pair processed. So I would always make a copy of one of the transactions, and make sure that by changing its name it would come alphabetically first in the list of RR pairs. Then change the response payload to what I wanted the META response to look like. And then I would give one of the request arguments a non-existing value such that the specific transaction which would also be created from this "meta"-rr-pair would never be matched as a specific response. (if this argument with the non-existing value is supposed to be a magic string than you also need to replace the response-value with the same non-existing string).

     

    Cheers,

    I agree with Danny if you are looking on META response. If you are looking to change the default "No Match" response then I don't think there is a way to achieve that. The below response is by design. You can modify it after creating the VSI.

    <html>
    <head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
    <body>
    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
    <hr/>
    <p><i>The DevTest VSE service could not match your request to a recorded request.&nbsp; Consider expanding your service image.</i></p>

    </body>
    </html>

    Hi Varun,

    As mentioned by Danny, Sidecar is an option to manipulate the meta data for R-R based virtualization. For response change you have to edit the vsi post creation.

    Thanks.
