NAME

       Webinject - Perl Module for testing web services

SYNOPSIS

           use Webinject;
           my $webinject = Webinject->new();
           $webinject->engine();

DESCRIPTION

       WebInject is a free tool for automated testing of web applications and web services. It
       can be used to test individual system components that have HTTP interfaces (JSP, ASP, CGI,
       PHP, AJAX, Servlets, HTML Forms, XML/SOAP Web Services, REST, etc), and can be used as a
       test harness to create a suite of [HTTP level] automated functional, acceptance, and
       regression tests. A test harness allows you to run many test cases and collect/report your
       results.  WebInject offers real-time results display and may also be used for monitoring
       system response times.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new ( [ARGS] )
       Creates an "Webinject" object.

       reporttype
           possible values are 'standard', 'nagios', 'nagios2', 'mrtg' or 'external:'

       nooutput
           suppress all output to STDOUT, create only logfiles

       break_on_errors
           stop after the first testcase fails, otherwise Webinject would go on and execute all
           tests regardless of the previous case.

       timeout
           Default timeout is 180seconds. Timeout starts again for every testcase.

       useragent
           Set the useragent used in HTTP requests. Default is 'Webinject'.

       max_redirect
           Set maximum number of HTTP redirects. Default is 0.

       proxy
           Sets a proxy which is then used for http and https requests.

            ex.: http://proxy.company.net:3128

           with authentication:

            ex.: http://user:password@proxy.company.net:3128

       output_dir
           Output directory where all logfiles will go to. Defaults to current directory.

       globalhttplog
           Can be 'yes' or 'onfail'. Will log the http request and response to a http.log file.

       httpauth
           Provides credentials for webserver authentications. The format is:

             ['servername', 'portnumber', 'realm-name', 'username', 'password']

       baseurl
           the value can be used as {BASEURL} in the test cases

       baseurl1
           the value can be used as {BASEURL1} in the test cases

       baseurl2
           the value can be used as {BASEURL2} in the test cases

       standaloneplot
           can be "on" or "off". Default is off.  Create gnuplot graphs when enabled.

       graphtype
           Defaults to 'lines'

       gnuplot
           Defines the path to your gnuplot binary.

       postbodybasedir
           Path to a directory from which all relative test case postbody directives are based.

           When test cases include a "postbody" directive with a "file=>..."  value, and that
           value is a relative location, Webinject will prepend this directory path.

           If not supplied, the directory containing the current test case file is prepended to
           any relative "file=>" values.

METHODS

   engine
       start the engine of webinject

TEST CASES

   Parameters
       addcookie
           When added to a test case, this adds a cookie to the cookie jar prior to the test case
           request being sent (i.e. the test case this is attached to will include any cookies
           specified in this parameter). This is useful for cases where a cookie is set outside
           of a Set-Cookie directive in the response header. This parameter takes a comma-
           delimited list of fields that configure the cookie; the fields for this parameter are
           a direct one-to-one correllation with the parameters to the HTTP::Cookies::set_cookie
           method. As well, multiple cookies can be defined by separating with a '|' character as
           with the addheader parameter.

           The comma-delimited list of fields are as follows.

           addcookie="version,name,value,path,domain,port,path_spec,secure,maxage,discard"

           version - Cookie-spec version number

           name - Cookie name.

           value - Cookie value.

           path - The URL path where the cookie is set.

           domain - The domain under which the cookie is set.

           port - The port on which the cookie is set.

           path_spec - Boolean. Set if the cookie is valid only under 'path' or the entire
           domain.

           secure - Boolean. If true (1), the cookie is only sent over secure connections

           maxage - The time in seconds the cookie is valid for.

           discard - Boolean. Do not send in future requests and destroy upon the next cookie jar
           save.

       parseresponse
           Parse a string from the HTTP response for use in subsequent requests. This is mostly
           used for passing Session ID's, but can be applied to any case where you need to pass a
           dynamically generated value. It takes the arguments in the format
           "leftboundary|rightboundary", and an optional third argument
           "leftboundary|rightboundary|escape|decode" when you want to force escaping of all non-
           alphanumeric characters (in case there is a wrong configuration of Apache server it
           will push encoded HTML characters (/ = /,  : = :,  ... ) to the Webinject and
           decode serve to translate them into normal characters.  See the "Session Handling and
           State Management - Parsing Response Data & Embedded Session ID's" section of this
           manual for details and examples on how to use this parameter.

           Note: You may need to prepend a backslash before certain reserved characters when
           parsing (sorry that is rather vague).

           Note: Newlines (\n) are also valid boundaries and are useful when you need to use the
           end of the line as a boundary.

           parseresponse1 Additional parameter for response parsing.

           parseresponse2 Additional parameter for response parsing.

           parseresponse3 Additional parameter for response parsing.

           parseresponse4 Additional parameter for response parsing.

           parseresponse5 Additional parameter for response parsing.

EXAMPLE TEST CASE

         <testcases>
           <case
             id             = "1"
             description1   = "Sample Test Case"
             method         = "get"
             url            = "{BASEURL}/test.jsp"
             verifypositive = "All tests succeded"
             warning        = "5"
             critical       = "15"
             label          = "testpage"
             errormessage   = "got error: {PARSERESPONSE}"
           />
         </testcases>

       detailed description about the syntax of testcases can be found on the Webinject homepage.
