How to get Response Status Code with Selenium WebDriver?
We can get the Response status code with Selenium webdriver. While executing a test, we can verify the Response code obtained from a server. Some common HTTP Response codes are listed below −
5XX means there is an issue on the server.
4XX means that the server resource cannot be identified.
3XX means the request has been redirected.
2XX means the request executed successfully.
An instance of the class HttpURLConnection is created to obtain the HTTP Response. To have a link to an URL, the method openConnection method is used. Then we have to use the method setRequestMethod and pass HEAD as a parameter.
To have a connection, the method connect should be applied to an object of the class HttpURLConnection. Finally, the method getResponseCode gives the Response code.
Syntax
HttpURLConnection cont=
(HttpURLConnection)new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm").
.openConnection();
cont.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
cont.connect();
int res = cont.getResponseCode();Example
Code Implementation
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
public class HttpResponseStatus{
public static void main(String[] args) throws
MalformedURLException, IOException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Java\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// wait of 5 seconds
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(8, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//url launch
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");
//URL connection
HttpURLConnection cont=
(HttpURLConnection)new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")
.openConnection();
// pass HEAD as parameter to setRequestMethod
cont.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
// obtain Response code
cont.connect();
int rs = cont.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("Http response code: " + rs);
//driver quit
driver.quit();
}
