Ability to resolve variables with file data #20

nishnet2002 · 2017-01-31T18:58:26Z

This PR will resolve variables declared with !file(SomeValidFile) with contents of the file.
The Contents of $fileData will hold String data instead of file pointer.
eg: # $fileData = !file(SomeValidFile)

I wanted to switch between users with multiple cookies. Since, having a big 🍪, switching between users was painful.
This changes will help to copy data from file, and use it in Headers as well as any other segment.

Input File

# Define Cookies
# $JohnCookie = !file(/tmp/JohnCookie)
# $MyCookie = !file(/tmp/MyCookie)
#
# Set User
# $globalCookie = $MyCookie
POST http://httpbin.org/post
Cookie: $globalCookie
SomeData

# Run 2 Using POST Data 
POST http://httpbin.org/post
Cookie: $globalCookie
$globalCookie

Output

{
  "args": {},
  "data": "MyCookie",
  "files": {},
  "form": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",

    "User-Agent": "python-requests/2.13.0"
  },
  "json": null,
  "origin": "XXX",
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post"
}
