Send the request¶
After setting up the request it can be sent to the server in a few different ways. Keep in mind that all configuration regarding the request must be done prior to any of the following steps, as they will actually send the request.
Available steps
When I request :path¶
Request :path using HTTP GET. Shorthand for When I request :path using HTTP GET.
When I request :path using HTTP :method¶
:path is relative to the base_uri configuration option, and :method is any HTTP method, for instance POST or DELETE. If :path starts with a slash, it will be relative to the root of base_uri.
Examples:
Assume that the ``base_uri`` configuration option has been set to ``http://example.com/dir`` in the following examples.
| Step | :path |
:method |
Resulting URI |
|---|---|---|---|
When I request “/?foo=bar&bar=foo” |
/?foo=bar&bar=foo |
GET |
http://example.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo |
When I request “/some/path” using HTTP DELETE |
/some/path |
DELETE |
http://example.com/some/path |
When I request “foobar” using HTTP POST |
foobar |
POST |
http://example.com/dir/foobar |
