RE: 403 errorsHi Marco,
http 403 is "forbidden" so you are trying to access a protected resouce.
The error can have a endless variety of reasons. :-(
A typical one is file permissions on the server.
But it can also be much more elaborate such that the server
expects some kind of information the the http header like
cookies, user-agents, encodings, etc. and throws 403
if not found.
Maybe this behavious is known to the ASPX user
community.
cheers
Mittie

Subject: [Webtest] RE: 403 errors
Hi
this is probably not a webtest issue im posting on the offchance someone
has observed similar problem.
I'm running a test suite back to back using httpunit based webtest vs
htmlunit based webtest.
Using httpunit based webtest the tests pass. Using htmlunit based webtest
I see mystery 403 errors when I'm trying to invoke a url. e.g
[testSpec] (steps.Step 273 ) Start Step: null
"[implict setup step]" (1/37)
[testSpec] (steps.Setup 66 ) Using browser
version (Microsoft Internet Explorer, 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows
98), 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98), 1.2). If the javascript support
is not as expected, then it's time to go into the sources
[testSpec] (steps.Setup 134 ) Configuring http
headers (1 elts)
[testSpec] (steps.Setup 139 ) Skipped User-Agent
header as it has already been configured in the BrowserVersion
[testSpec] (steps.Step 273 ) Start Step: invoke
"login screen" (2/37)
[testSpec] (request.Target 157 ) -> gotoTarget(by
url): http://localhost/app/ui/WelcomeForm.aspx
[testSpec] Jan 7, 2005 11:01:04 AM
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient getPage
[testSpec] INFO: statusCode=[403] contentType=[text/html]
If I check the iis log i see cookie settings & sessionId not being set
when trying to invoke the url ( welcomeform )
00:00:53 GET /app/js/browserDetect.js - 200 localhost
$Version=0;+ASP.NET_SessionId=1c44o0nxyhs0exe33obxbiuy;+$Path=/,$Version=0;+
A=11ad466b74824a6683b56f2531eb466b;+$Path=/ -
00:01:04 GET /app/ui/WelcomeForm.aspx - 403 localhost - -
Most tests invoke that same url as entry point for the test so I'm at a
loss as to why sometimes it works and sometimes it has 403 error.
The tests do not fail consistently. Sometimes a test that failed will pass
on a subsequent run. I also observe slightly different pass/fails if I
change the user agent header in config.xml to be that for firefox ( that is
mozilla 1.0 ) instead of I.E although I doubt this had anything to do with
it.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Is this probably an issue with
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient getPage ? (I'm using the html unit
bundled with webtest how recent is that ? )
Marco
