Octopus is an http client that allows you to make HTTP requests described in the file. Query templates can contain variables, and you can set them when you run the program.
The defaults key describes default values of a template. This values will be set for all templates without defined fields. If you don't need to set any default values, leave it blank.
Templates should be described in the json file in the key templates. Each request must contain the mandatory target field with the URL of the target host. There are also optional fields that allow you to specify request fields, such as headers or request type.
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| target | target URL |
| description | description of the request |
| method | HTTP request method (get/post/etc.). GET by default |
| headings | list of headers |
| cookies | list of cookies |
| delay | delay in milliseconds before the request |
| timeout | request timeout in milliseconds |
| log | message to display on request |
| response.log | message to display on response |
Variables can be used in any text field. The variable name must have the format ${name}.
You can set variables at program startup using the command line arguments -v="variable name:the value of the variable"
You can use variables respCode and respBody to get data from the response.
