StatusCode is defined as integer (string is not possible)

[hsnsalhi]

Hello,
I want to extract the status code from url but the mapping json is skipped because StatusCode can't be as string.
This is an example of what I want to do:

{
    "Request": {
      "Path": {
        "Matchers": [
          {
            "Name": "RegexMatcher",
            "Pattern": "/test/(\\d+)"
          }
        ]
      },
      "Methods": [
        "post"
      ]
    },
    "Response": {
      "StatusCode": "{{Regex.Match request.url \"\\d+\"}}",
      "BodyAsJson": {
        "path": "{{request.path}}"
      },
      "UseTransformer": true
    }
  }

According to HTTP specification, I think it's only allowed to use a number between 100 and 599 as status code.

Yes, in fact my use case respects this spec (the example was just to show what I need)
But the problem is in the string to number conversion. the Response object does not accept StatusCode to be string, neither the method WithStatusCode in C# code.

[StefH]

Correct. The reason that you cannot use a string because it should always be an integer. So what issue do you have with this?

[hsnsalhi]

In this case, is there a way to extract the status code from the url ?
example:
I send http://localhost/test/statuscode401
And the response should be with status code 401

[StefH]

If you send something like http://localhost/test/statuscode/401, then you can get the 401 using:
request.PathSegments.[2].

However, at this moment, you cannot set this to the StatusCode because only integer is allowed.

This could be implemented with a new cast extension on Handlebars. I can investigate this.
Also allowing a the code to be converted from string to integer could be an option.
(BTW I need to check if the StatusCode is actually processed by Handlebars...)

BTW just posting a new mapping to the __admin is possible with a string as StatusCode:

{
    "Request": {
      "Path": {
        "Matchers": [
          {
            "Name": "RegexMatcher",
            "Pattern": "/statuscode/(\\d+)"
          }
        ]
      },
      "Methods": [
        "post"
      ]
    },
    "Response": {
      "StatusCode": "401",
      "BodyAsJson": {
        "path": "{{request.path}}"
      },
      "UseTransformer": true
    }
}

Actually it's the workaround I'm working with.
I create a mapping for every possible status code returned by the mocked API
Thank you for your help
