http.call.before

Pre-request callback for the Call API feature.

Usage

http.call.before=groovy:```
// Log request info
logger.info("Sending " + request.method() + " " + request.url())
if (request.body() != null) {
    logger.info("Body: " + request.body())
}
if (!request.formParams().isEmpty()) {
    logger.info("Form: " + request.formParams())
}
if (!request.query().isEmpty()) {
    logger.info("Query: " + request.query())
}
```

This callback is executed before sending an HTTP request. It can be used for:

• Auto-login
• Adding common request headers
• Setting request parameters
• Logging request details

Context

The following variables are available in the script context:

Variable	Description
request	The HTTP request about to be sent. See request for available methods

}
if (!request.formParams().isEmpty()) {
    logger.info("Form: " + request.formParams())
}
if (!request.query().isEmpty()) {
    logger.info("Query: " + request.query())
