I'm testing on Windows, trying to simulate POST requests (with different form variables) for load testing. I have tried all kinds of load testing software but failed to get it working.
For GET requests, I know I can just put parameters behind the url
But how do I simulate a POST request?
I have a chrome REST Client but I do not know what to put in the headers and data.
Here's what I've tried so far:
class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string viewstateid = "/wEPDwUKLTY3NjEyMzE4NWRkK4DxZpjTmZg/RGCS2s13vkEWmwWiEE6v+XrYoWVuxeg="; string eventid ="/wEdAAoSjOGPZYAAeKGjkZOhQ+aKHfOfr91+YI2XVhP1c/pGR96FYSfo5JULYVvfQ61/Uw4pNGL67qcLo0vAZTfi8zd7jfuWZzOhk6V/gFA/hhJU2fx7PQKw+iST15SoB1LqJ4UpaL7786dp6laCBt9ubQNrfzeO+rrTK8MaO2KNxeFaDhrQ0hxxv9lBZnM1SHtoODXsNUYlOeO/kawcn9fX0BpWN7Brh7U3BIQTZwMNkOzIy+rv+Sj8XkEEA9HaBwlaEjg="; string username = "user1"; string password = "ttee"; string loginbutton = "Log In"; string URLAuth = "http://localhost/login.aspx"; string postString = string.Format("VIEWSTATE={0}&EVENTVALIDATION={1}&LoginUser_UserName={2}&LoginUser_Password={3}&LoginUser_LoginButton={4}",viewstateid,eventid, username, password,realm,otp,loginbutton); const string contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer(); HttpWebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(URLAuth) as HttpWebRequest; webRequest.Method = "POST"; webRequest.ContentType = contentType; webRequest.CookieContainer = cookies; webRequest.ContentLength = postString.Length; webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1"; webRequest.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"; webRequest.Referer = "http://localhost/login.aspx"; StreamWriter requestWriter = new StreamWriter(webRequest.GetRequestStream()); requestWriter.Write(postString); requestWriter.Close(); StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()); string responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine(responseData); responseReader.Close(); webRequest.GetResponse().Close(); } }
