AddHeader Method

Applies to TestComplete 15.69, last modified on November 13, 2024
Testing web services with TestComplete is obsolete. We recommend that you use ReadyAPI, another SmartBear's automated testing tool for SOAP and REST web services.
If needed, you can run ReadyAPI tests from TestComplete.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add custom SOAP headers to your web service requests in the OnWebServiceRequest event handler:

JavaScript, JScript

// The routine calls the ProcessData method of the tested web service
function Main()
{

  WebServices.SampleWebService.ProcessData();

}

// The OnWebServiceRequest event handler
function GeneralEvents_OnWebServiceRequest(Sender, Request, Helper, RequestInfo)
{

  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader("UserID", "http://tempuri.org/", "jsmith");
  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader("Password", "http://tempuri.org/", "25jeL3n");

}

Python

# The routine calls the ProcessData method of the tested web service
def Main():
  WebServices.SampleWebService.ProcessData()

# The OnWebServiceRequest event handler
def GeneralEvents_OnWebServiceRequest(Sender, Request, Helper, RequestInfo):
  # Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader("UserID", "http://tempuri.org/", "jsmith")
  # Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader("Password", "http://tempuri.org/", "25jeL3n")

VBScript

' The routine calls the ProcessData method of the tested web service
Sub Main

  WebServices.SampleWebService.ProcessData

End Sub

' The OnWebServiceRequest event handler
Sub GeneralEvents_OnWebServiceRequest(Sender, Request, Helper, RequestInfo)

  ' Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Call Helper.AddHeader("UserID", "http://tempuri.org/", "jsmith")
  ' Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Call Helper.AddHeader("Password", "http://tempuri.org/", "25jeL3n")

End Sub

DelphiScript

// The routine calls the ProcessData method of the tested web service
procedure Main();
begin

  WebServices.SampleWebService.ProcessData();

end;

// The OnWebServiceRequest event handler
procedure GeneralEvents_OnWebServiceRequest(Sender, Request, Helper, RequestInfo);
begin

  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader('UserID', 'http://tempuri.org/', 'jsmith');
  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper.AddHeader('Password', 'http://tempuri.org/', '25jeL3n');

end;

C++Script, C#Script

// The routine calls the ProcessData method of the tested web service
function Main()
{

  WebServices["SampleWebService"]["ProcessData"]();

}

// The OnWebServiceRequest event handler
function GeneralEvents_OnWebServiceRequest(Sender, Request, Helper, RequestInfo)
{

  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper["AddHeader"]("UserID", "http://tempuri.org/", "jsmith");
  // Add a UserID header to the SOAP request
  Helper["AddHeader"]("Password", "http://tempuri.org/", "25jeL3n");

}
