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 logilfes

       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'

EXAMPLES

   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>
