How to get Response Status Code with Selenium WebDriver?

We can get the Response status code with Selenium webdriver. While executing a test, we can verify the Response code obtained from a server. Some common HTTP Response codes are listed below −

• 5XX means there is an issue on the server.

• 4XX means that the server resource cannot be identified.

• 3XX means the request has been redirected.

• 2XX means the request executed successfully.

An instance of the class HttpURLConnection is created to obtain the HTTP Response. To have a link to an URL, the method openConnection method is used. Then we have to use the method setRequestMethod and pass HEAD as a parameter.

To have a connection, the method connect should be applied to an object of the class HttpURLConnection. Finally, the method getResponseCode gives the Response code.

Syntax

HttpURLConnection cont= (HttpURLConnection)new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm"). .openConnection(); cont.setRequestMethod("HEAD"); cont.connect(); int res = cont.getResponseCode();

Example

Code Implementation

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.HttpURLConnection; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLConnection; public class HttpResponseStatus{    public static void main(String[] args) throws    MalformedURLException, IOException {       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",       "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Java\chromedriver.exe");       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();       // wait of 5 seconds       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(8, TimeUnit.SECONDS);       //url launch       driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");       //URL connection       HttpURLConnection cont=       (HttpURLConnection)new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")       .openConnection();       // pass HEAD as parameter to setRequestMethod       cont.setRequestMethod("HEAD");       // obtain Response code       cont.connect();       int rs = cont.getResponseCode();       System.out.println("Http response code: " + rs);       //driver quit       driver.quit();    } }
