K6 how do i make a raw (non encoded) post












2















I'm trying to use K6 to load test prometheus pushgateway and it wants posts in the following format.



http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.05"} 24054
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.1"} 33444
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.2"} 100392


there has to be a linefeed at the end of each line (and one extra at the end) - however I seem to only get url encoded strings like %20 for space etc. Is it possible somehow to post raw strings?

          If you just construct the body as a string yourself and pass it that way to http.post(), it should be sent as-is, without any modifications. This code should illustrate this, using httpbin.org:



          import http from "k6/http";
          import crypto from "k6/crypto";

          let payload = `http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.05"} 24054
          http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.1"} 33444
          http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.2"} 100392
          `;

          export default function (data) {
          console.log(crypto.sha256(payload, "hex"));
          let resp = http.post("https://httpbin.org/anything", payload);
          console.log(crypto.sha256(resp.json().data, "hex"));
          console.log(resp.body);
          }


          it will output something like this:



          INFO[0000] 773f0d81713fca0663ad7a01135bf674b93b0859854b2248368125af3f070d29
