Test URLs for Http errors

Todd Gardner

I want to write an integration tests under various error scenarios: Bad Request, Forbidden, and Unauthorized. Are there any urls inside Thomson that I can point these tests at?

Justin Vander Ziel

I can give you an URL to test Forbidden and a couple of URLS for not found and server error:

- 404: https://disclosureexchange.qa.accelus.com/_layouts/TLR.CDP.CustomSPError/sp404.aspx
- 403: https://disclosureexchange.qa.accelus.com/_layouts/TLR.CDP.CustomSPError/AccessDenied.aspx
- 500: https://disclosureexchange.qa.accelus.com/_layouts/TLR.CDP.CustomSPError/Error.aspx

And you can always find a way to create a 404 error.

I used [netcat][1] as a server in college to return arbitrary HTTP headers and messages - you could try that for a quick solution. Or you could create one yourself - just use an ASP.NET page and override the Render to provide the response you need:

///

/// Sends server control content to the specified object, which writes the content to be rendered on the client.
///

/// The object that receives the rendered content.
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
Response.Status = "404 Not Found";
Response.StatusCode = 404;
}
