Introduction

This page introduces briefly how to use the ATS HTTP client.

Simple example

Let's have a look at this example:

import com.axway.ats.action.http.HttpClient;
import com.axway.ats.action.http.HttpResponse;

@Test
public void httpOperations() {

    // Instantiate the HTTP client by providing the remote URL
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient( SERVER_BASE_REST_URL + "demo/gethome" );

    // execute some HTTP method, set some headers or query parameters if needed
    client.addRequestParameter( "firstName", USER_FIRST_NAME );
    client.addRequestParameter( "lastName", USER_LAST_NAME );
    HttpResponse response = client.get();

    // verify we received the expected status code
    assertEquals( 200, response.getStatusCode() );

    // read the response body
    String responseBody = response.getBodyAsString();
}

As you can see we first point to the target HTTP resource we intend to work with, then we provide some request data if needed(like headers or query parameters) and then we execute some of the supported HTTP methods. Finally we extract the response content.
