Not sure that http://myserver/login?jumpTo=http://myserver/start is a correct url. Shouldn't the paramater value be encoded as http://myserver/login?jumpTo=http%3A%2F%2Fmyserver%2Fstart

hi marc
thanx a lot for the tip with the debug level. I was looking for this feature but haven't found it...
the debug output helped me to find the problem. it's a bit tricky and has nothing to do with webtest itself. for geeks: see explanation below
--luca
the problem lied in the com.meterware.httpunit.WebRequest-class of the httpunit distribution.
the function private String stripDoubleSlashes( String url ) normalizes URLs by collapsing // into /.
the url that webtest got by 302-redirect looked like: Location: http://myserver/login?jumpTo=http://myserver/start
this url was transformed to http://myserver/login?jumpTo=http:/myserver/start which of course caused the 404...
after patching the WebRequest-class it works fine.

Try setting the log level to debug in the WEBTEST_HOME/lib/log4j.properties, you will see a bit more what is working.
Page not found means return code 404 and not 302. May it be that the page to which the server want to redirect with a 302 doesn't exist?

hello webtest community
here my test scenario: - invocation of a http location - server sends redirect (302) to a https location which contains a login-form - webtest follows redirect and switches properly to https protocol - webtest fills out the form values and invokes the login button - server sends back (still using https) a redirect (302) to a http location (I know this from the webserver log-file) - webtest switches the protocol back to http and accesses
the new http
location (this step fails)
problem: it seems that webtest can't handle the redirect which is received after the button invocation. since this works fine using
only http (no
https), I guess the problem is the redirect to a http-site
as a result
of a button invocation when using https before.
this is the message I get: Test step clickbutton named "Click the submit button" failed with message "Step "clickbutton "Click the submit button" (6/7):
Page not
found : click button"
in general, switching between http and https released by redirects seems to work fine in both directions.
I know that my scenario might be a bit unusual but it's the way the website that I want to test works.
did anybody encounter this problem or does have an idea what I am doing wrong? (see my ant script below)
thanx,
