I want to retrieve the request parameters of the URL using selenum-1 Is there

  • 0

I want to retrieve the request parameters of the URL using selenum-1 Is there a way? I saw the API list getLocation() method returns the absolute URL.

If the URL is http://webserver/webapps/library/do/javabooks/author?author_id=42&book_id=55

If I am writting selenium.getLocation() it returns me http://webserver/webapps/library/do/javabooks/author. But I am interested in the request parameters. Or if I can get the full URL with request parameters using Selenium API that is also fine.
Is there any way?

Thanks in advance.

    I don’t know of any function that does that… it is possible to verify the URL like you said, but for things that are just slightly different I tend to use Javascript:

    selenium.get_eval('window.location.href');

    If you need it often you might consider wrapping it in a library or function, but this seems quite clean to me. You could expand the Javascript a little to get more control over the returned data: splitting on the ? character and take only the second item in the array, for example. From that point on, perhaps split again on & to get the parameters returned as a list of strings?
