When I send a REST API call and the server responds with a HTML response body (Http Code 504: Gateway Timeout), Katalon Studio does not display the entire response payload which should be HTML content. Rather, it only shows “error code: 504” as the response body.
Same behaviour is observed in the test case scripts when you log the response body using response.getResponseBodyContent().
See Katalon response vs Postman response bodies in below screenshots:
use response.getRequestText() instead of the deprecated response.getResponseBodyContent()
Did you mean response.getResponseText()?
The behaviour is still the same even with response.getResponseText(). Note that the problem affects both the Test Cases (scripts) and Web Requests. The screenshots I shared were from calling the API from the Object Repository directly
I saw the screenshot of Katalon Studio you posted.
To me it seems that the response body actually contained a plain text “error code: 504”, not a HTML. Katalon Studio just displayed the raw text contained in the response.
The screenshot you posted doesn’t prove that Katalon Studio parsed a HTML and got a wrong output.
I guess @immuchiri sent 2 different HTTP Requests using Postman and Katalon Studio. Different requests would result different responses. @lmmuchiri didn’t show the enough information how the requests were, so I am not sure.
