I need to launch tests using the RestAPI and specify the IP to test. I’m trying to pass the script in the URL but I do smething wrong. ¿how can I pass two lines script as script parameter in the URL?

I use
setdns
navigate

How can I pass this as script argument?

thanks in advance.

You need to urlencode it. For example, this script:

setdns	www.aol.com	1.2.3.4
navigate	www.aol.com

would be passed as:

&script=setdns%09www.aol.com%091.2.3.4%0Anavigate%09www.aol.com

If you use POST you would form-encode it.

I usually use URL Decoder/Encoder to do the urlencoding if I’m doing it manually. In code whatever platform you are using to send the API calls should have support for url-encoding parameters.
