Error description

  • If an HTTP request is recorded in Recording Studio which
    contains a URL query with no '=' values, RIT creates an
    incorrect request Resource Path.
    For example, the URL /test/index.php?/one/two/three is recorded.
    When a test is created from the recording, the Resource Path is:
    
    /test/index.php?/one/two/three={/one/two/three}
    
    STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
    
    1. Use Recording Studio to record an HTTP request/reply with URL
    of the form url?value
    
    2. Save the message as a hard-coded test and choose the default
    options
    
    3. Open the test Send Request and view the Resource Path
    
    EXPECTED RESULT:
    
    The Resource Path is the same as that recorded, for example
    /test/index.php?/one/two/three
    
    ACTUAL RESULT:
    
    The Resource Path is the same as that recorded, for example
    /test/index.php?/one/two/three={/one/two/three}
    An incorrect Web URL schema has been created with the query
    /one/two/three={/one/two/three}
    
    WORKAROUND:
    
    Edit the operation Resource Path in Architecture School >
    Logical View to match the original request; remove the
    "={/one/two/three}"
    
    Edit the Send Request Resource Path to match the original
    request; remove the "={/one/two/three}"
    Alternatively, in Test Factory, create a new test using MEP
    after correcting the operation Resource Path.
