Handle status codes in engine.ini

We could determine if sumission is successfull by status code. We can say engine does not match by status code, and more... Can that be already done?

    no, but what engine only shows a success/fail by status code?
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    Wordpress xmlrpc for example a lot of security rules. 404,403,401
    Don't you think that status code should be handled beacuse sometimes we just waste time? Why look for an answer if we can decide by status code? :) It is in headers already, so we can even skip downloading the body.

    but that xmlrpc also returns data in the html to rely on

    Yes it does, and it is fine. But headers are in general very good way to handle things.
    We can filter out the bad websites and avoid debugging them etc. if a server returns a status code ex. 503 we should trust the server that submission failed. 

    edit: false positives are pain in the ...

    next update allows you to use e.g.
    status failed=httpstatus:500
    Thanked by 1andrzejek

    Are you sure it is correct?
    In engine.ini

    status failed=httpstatus:200|httpstatus:404|httpstatus:301|httpstatus:302|httpstatus:403|httpstatus:401


    whoops... not working for me


  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    you are right...only added it for the "success" messages...will fix on next update.
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    do you mean, submit success, submit failed?
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    yes...I simply forgot that someone would like to check that on the "submit failed" part as well.
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    submit failed works for me :)
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    Awesome update... amount of false positives i was getting by status code was so big... 
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    Is it possible to provide status codes after comma?;

    httpstatus:401,402,403
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de

    4** shall work aswell?
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    You never replied about:

    modify step condition
    page must have
    modify url condition

    And these are really helpfull. I would like to get your input beacuse its something that holds me back. Aswell as the priority of page must have url must have over submit messages.
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    yea will have to add it there as well, but that needs more work and Im not in office to do that changes. It might come but not on next update. ** should work as well.
  • andrzejekandrzejek Polska
    i dont know if u added but not working
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    please give me a sample where and how you use it.

    @sven sorry, i was talking about httpstatus:4** or httpstatus:40*

    modify step condition with httpstatus:404 and negative match works
    (i have to create sample projects for you so you can use them to debug)
