How this template works
APIs Selection
The template includes API selection filters that specify the desired response code range (between 200 and 300) and extract the URL from the response using the "urlVar" variable.
Execute request
The template uses a single request to modify the URL by replacing a placeholder with the extracted URL value. This allows for dynamic URL modification during the execution of the request.
Validation
The template includes validation rules to check if the response code falls within the desired range and if any of the specified unwanted response headers are present. The validation checks for the presence of specific header keys using a "contains_either" condition.
