Part VI Diagnostics
Simulate HTTP Requests
The Diagnostic Console enables you to test the effect of a HTTP request, and examine its
response, without having to use a device or a device emulator.
Choose File → Request. This displays the Request Panel where you can create your HTTP
Request.
From here you can create a HTTP request that includes:
•
The protocol and version to be used: HTTP Version 1.0 and Version 1.1.
•
The type of request to be constructed: GET or POST
•
The destination URL.
•
The device being emulated.
•
Cookies, query strings and any parameters that you want to include.
Specify a URL Request
When specifying a destination URL, ensure it is relative to the web application you are accessing.
For example, if the complete URL is:
http://server:port/news/index.jsp
then type in the following into the URL Request field:
/news/index.jsp
WebLogic Mobility Server concatenates the Server and Port values provided earlier with the
request field to generate the target URL:
http://server:port/news/index.jsp
The other parts of the full URL will be taken directly from the other input boxes in the panel or
derived from their contents.
