Config Variables

Config variables have the effect of changing global "behavior" and are identified by a leading underscore (_) for example _url.

Anything set this way will apply to all requests, unless you over-ride them.

Here are all the available config variables.

| Name | Type | Effect | | _url | string | Sets the default "base URL" for all requests | | _headers | json | Sets the headers for all requests | | _cookies | json | Sets the cookies for all requests " | _ssl | boolean / json | Set this to true if you have to test HTTPS and the server is strict | | _charset | string | Set this to (null) if you want to not append ; charset=UTF-8 to the Content-Type header | | _followRedirects | boolean | Set this to false to not follow redirects by default | | _connectTimeout | number | Increase the connect timeout which defaults to 30000 (30 seconds) | | _readTimeout | number | Increase the read timeout which defaults to 30000 (30 seconds) | | _proxy | string / json | The URI of the proxy server to use |

For more details, you can also refer to the corresponding configure keys in the Karate engine that is used behind the scenes.

Those that expect a JSON can also be a JS function that returns a JSON, allowing for some very dynamic behavior.
