InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: '//host'

Hi,
I would like to use POST keyword to send my data.
I use a simple way to verify the HTTP request.

# nc -l 0.0.0.0 80

*** Settings ***
Documentation     This is TestService API Library
Library           HttpLibrary.HTTP

*** Variables ***
# https://service.test/TestService/GetLicense
${api_host}       service.test

*** Keywords ***
Init TestService Environment
    Create Http Context    service.test    http
    Set Request Header    Content-Type    application/xml
    Set Request Header    Accept    */*

Invoke TestService API GetLicense
    [Arguments]    ${query_string}
    Init TestService Environment

    Set Request Body    TEST_HELLO
    Set Request Header    Content-Type    application/xml
    Set Request Header    Accept    */*
    # Set Request Body    ${query_string}
    POST    http://service.test/TestService/GetLicense

    Log Response Body
    ${response_body}    Get Response Body
    [Return]    ${response_body}

We can see in "HttpLibrary.HTTP.Set Request Body", it shows "Request body set to TEST_HELLO".
But in "HttpLibrary.HTTP.POST", i got "No request body set".

My test server got,

Do I misunderstand something ? Thanks! :)
Thanks!

This is a duplicate of #10 (read about the details there). Basically you need to change

-POST    http://service.test/TestService/GetLicense
+POST    /TestService/GetLicense

in your test.

I'll definitely need to look into #10 , as this is really confusing.

Hi @peritus

I might some confuse in create context.
As your suggestion and #10 , i update some code base on my previous post as below.

- Create Http Context    service.test    http
+ Create Http Context    http://service.test

- POST    http://service.test/TestService/GetLicense
+ POST    /TestService/GetLicense

But it will case a error "InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: '//service.test'"

After some investigation, i updated my test case by

Create Http Context    service.test  http
POST  /TestService/GetLicense

I'm not sure if there are different behaviour by different URI input? if not please correct me.
Thank you!

Glad you got it working!

No, your two alternative invocations of Create Http Context should be equivalent. I'll keep this open to add tests that resemble the edge cases you uncovered, so the next person won't be as confused ;) Thank you!
