Replacing Text Patterns
In rare cases, the name of an HTTP request parameter is variable, instead of the parameter value being variable. Even rarer are cases where a file path
of a URL call contains variable parts.
You can handle such cases as follows:
1. Use the text pattern-based variable extractor as described in the previous sub-chapter.
2. At the last step, use the checkbox Assign var to all matching request file and request content
patterns with same recorded value, instead of Assign var to all request parameter with same
recorded value.
There are also other rare cases in which a text pattern must be extracted from an HTTP response header
because a variable HTTP redirection occurs, on which only a part of the URL file path, or a part of a CGI
parameter, is variable. This is also supported – if two extractor icons are present, you simply use the
second one.
