We can get an HTTP response code in Selenium webdriver. While running test cases, we can check the response code from a resource. Common HTTP response codes include −
5XX – Issue in server.
4XX – Resource cannot be determined.
3XX - Redirection.
2XX – Fine.
An object of the class HttpURLConnection is created to get the HTTP response code. To establish a link to an URL, the openConnection method shall be used. Next, we shall utilize the setRequestMethod and pass HEAD as a parameter.
For connection, the connect method is to be applied to the instance of the HttpURLConnection class. At last, the getResponseCode method gets the response code.
HttpURLConnection c=(HttpURLConnection)new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm"). .openConnection(); c.setRequestMethod("HEAD"); c.connect(); int r = c.getResponseCode();
