This page explains how to initiate custom HTTP connections using Lua script that are logged to the Sandcat Live Headers.

Loading or sending a custom HTTP request

Example

myheaders = [[
X-MyHeader: AValue
]]

-- GET example
tab:sendrequest{
 method = 'GET',
 url = 'http://www.somehost.com/',
 headers = myheaders,
 usecookies = false
}

-- POST example
tab:sendrequest{
 method = 'POST',
 url = tab.url..'/somepath',
 postdata = 'id=1'
}

If you want to load the request using the browser, just replace the sendrequest() method with loadrequest()

Logging a request from a custom HTTP client class

Example

This one uses the Selenite's httprequest class, included with Sandcat 4:

http = scl.httprequest:new()
http:open('GET','http://www.somehost.com/')
if http.status == 200 then
  -- the requestinfo property returns a compatible JSON object with the required keys.
 tab:logrequest(http.requestinfo)
end
http:release()
