• value

  (Optional) Value of the parameter

Valid contexts

This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.

Notes

• An HTTP request must be instantiated via create http request before calling this built-in action.
• To add multiple value parameters into the URI of the GET request, in your test procedures declare several add http parameter. These name/value pairs are joined with equal signs and different pairs are separated by the ampersand. For example: /test/demo_form.asp?name1=value1&name2=value2.
• Alternatively, when you do not want to use this built-in action to add a name/value pair into the GET request, append the name/value pair directly into the URI and then send the entire GET request to the server by using the send http request built-in action. (See Examples.)
• This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
