Request Type

Request Type

The request type can be defined in four ways:

Use a manual definition Manually define the request. Allows entering the URL and set the parameters to be used for the request.
Follow a redirect of the previous request The present request is the target of an HTTP redirect in the response to the preceding request.
Follow a link from the previous request Extracts and follows a link matching a dynamic definition. Useful when a scenario includes a click on a dynamically-generated link. The link is dynamically extracted from the results of the preceding request (referrer) and follows the link.
Submit a form from the previous request Extracts and submits a form from a form in the previous request. Useful when a scenario includes the submission of a form containing a dynamic hidden field. The form is dynamically extracted from the results of the preceding request (referrer), allowing the dynamically-extracted values to be submitted.
