MR> Hi

Hi,

Please post questions about HTTP::Webtest to maillist so others can
benfit from answers.

MR> I have a minor issue with HTTP::Webtest.

MR> Due ot the way a site i am working on manages sessions, I need to be
MR> able ro insert a variable parameter into the middle of the test
MR> url. This is becuase the site uses a jsp based session management
MR> system which creates a unique context for the users session:

MR> ie:  if the user is assigned a session of !caa8Dp1BzY, then his url will be:
MR> http://site.url/!caa8Dp1BzY/login.jsp

MR> now I can easily capture the session id using the id example in your
MR> cookbook, and pass this to a parameter, but I cant seem to insert it
MR> into the url. I assume this is parsed and thrown out to the user
MR> agent. is there any contingency for this in the module, or am I going
MR> to have to hack it in?

As I understand you are using latest development release (1.99_06).

Something like

test_name = Login
    url = { "http://site.url/$SESSION_ID/login.jsp" }
    ...
    ...
end_test

should work (assuming that $SESSION_ID contains session id captured
earlier).

Note that just

    url = "http://site.url/$SESSION_ID/login.jsp"

doesn't work. You have to put string into curly braket to force
evalutaion of Perl variables in string.

Actually it is already changed in CVS and with CVS version

    url = "http://site.url/$SESSION_ID/login.jsp"

does works. I'm going to release it as soon as I fix bugs introduced
by rewrite of parser.
