Sync Headers, Body and Tests in Postman - postman

I'm using postman for linux (v9.18.2) on Pop!_OS (20.04) and sync my collections between devices via the built-in sync function. The green cloud icon indicates "In sync".
However, I couldn't find how to sync the body, tests, headers etc. too.
Does anyone know if this can be done somehow?

How to have a run time config file for aurelia app built with webpacks 4

I have a application built with aurelia and bundled with webpacks. I have a variables in a typescript file. When i do a producation build, I just want to change those variables when I deploy at various servers.
Example apiRoot= http://10.10.0.1/RESTSERVICES/---> when deployed at one server
when deployed at another server I what apiRoot do be different.
But I don't want to build the code multiple times to deploy at various locations.
For this reason I'm looking a run time config file for aurelia application built with webpacks. Thanks in Advance
I think what you are asking is potentially similar to the Q here Aureliajs Waiting For Data on App Constructor.
In that question, I gave suggestion on how to do it in different ways, which is copy-pasted below:
Aurelia provides many ways to handle asynchronous flow. If your custom element is a routed component, then you can leverage activate lifecycle to return a promise and initialize the http service asynchronously.
Otherwise, you can use CompositionTransaction to halt the process further, before you are done with initialization. You can see a preliminary example at https://tungphamblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/aurelia-customelement-async/
You can also leverage async nature of configure function in bootstrapping an Aurelia application to do initialization there:
export function configure(aurelia) {
...
await aurelia.container.get(HttpServiceInitializer).initialize();
}

azure-storage-cpp cancel a parallel task

I'm currently implementing a C++ backend server using azure-storage-cpp to download blob files locally. Azure Storage Cpp works on top of cpprestsdk (casablanca), which provides parallel tasking.
The simple example from the documentation allows me to start a blob download. Fine. Now I'd like to know how can I cancel the download/task on demand?
I'm using this method to download into a file.
This method returns a pplx::task<void>. So my guess was I could use this to properly stop the download.
But the documentation for pplx::task constructor says:
The version of the constructor that takes a cancellation token creates a task that can be canceled using the <c>cancellation_token_source</c> the token was obtained from. Tasks created without a cancellation token are not cancelable.
Window Azure Storage Cpp creates the task for us when calling download_to_file_async. So is there a way to cancel/stop a pplx:task created by azure storage cpp?
If not, I think I'm going to use the REST api with libcurl.

Is it possible to make a schedule that Postman executes request?

I am using Postman to run a Runner on some specific requests. Is it possible to create a schedule to execute (meaning every day on specific hour)?
You can set up a Postman Monitor on your collection, and schedule it to execute the request each minute/hour/weekly basis.
This article can get you started on creating your monitor. Postman allows 1000 monitoring requests for free per month.
PS: Postman gives you details about the responses as in No. of successful requests, response codes, response size etc. I wanted the actual response for my test. So I just printed the response body as shown below. Hope it helps someone out there :)
Well, if there is no other possibility, you can actually try doing this:
- launch postman runner
- configure the highest possible number of iterations
- configure the delay (in milliseconds) to fit your scheduling requirement
It is absolutely awful, but if the delay variable can be set high enough, it might work.
It implies that postman is continuousely running.
You may do this using a scheduling tool that can launch command lines and use Newman ...
I don't think Postman can do it on its own

EDIT:

check this postman feature : https://www.getpostman.com/docs/postman/monitors/intro_monitors
from postman v10.2.1 onwards you can schedule your collections to run directly (without using monitors) on the specified times

How to clear cookies in loadrunner 12.50

I am quite new to LoadRunner. I am using the 12.50 community edition and am using the protocol TruClient for web.
What should i do in order to delete the cookies that the LoadRunner has accumulated while doing interaction with browser?
As suggested by tserg42, you could add a separate step inside your "Develop Script" of TruClient for adding the "Utils.clearCookies()" command inside a Javascript action.
Please find the screenshots below for adding the above
Step 1
Drag the marked step on to the script
Step 2
Step 3
Upon clicking the "JS" icon at the right corner, the arguments editor would be available for providing javascript commands. Key in the required commands - "Utils.clearCookies()".
Additionally, you can also check "Simulate new user on each iteration" checkbox from Runtime Settings --> Replay --> Simulate new user on each iteration
I guess you are looking for the function web_cleanup_cookies(). Here is some relevant information I have found about its use:
Return Values
This function returns LR_PASS (0) on success and LR_FAIL (1) on failure.
General Information
The web_cleanup_cookies function removes all the cookies that are currently stored by the for use by the script.
Note: Scripts do not use (access or modify) the cookies that are stored by your browser. Instead, each Vuser uses the cookies that are sent to the Vuser by the server host at runtime. These cookies are maintained only while the script runs. The web-cookie functions (web_add_cookie, web_remove_cookie and web_cleanup_cookies) manipulate these temporary cookies, and do not affect cookies stored by your browser.
This function is supported for all Web scripts, and for WAP scripts running in HTTP or Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) replay mode.
You could try Utils.clearCookies() method. By the way, TruClient API documentation is available online.

Possible to set Accept-Ranges header on Amazon S3

I have an application with very short-lived(5s) access tokens, paranoid client, and some of their users are accessing the S3 stored files using mobile connections so the lag can be quite high.
I've noticed that Amazon forcefully sends out the Accept-Ranges header on all requests, and I'd like to disable that for the files in question. So it would always download the entire file the first time around instead of downloading it chunks.
The main offender I've noticed for this is Chromes built-in PDF viewer. It'll start viewing the PDF, get a 200 response. Then it'll reconnect with a 206 header and start downloading the file in two chunks. If Chrome is too slow to start the download of all chunks before the access token expires it'll keep spamming requests towards S3 (600+ requests when I closed the window).
I've tried setting the header by changing it in the S3 console but while it says it saved it successfully it gets cleared instantly. I also tried to set the header with the signed request, as you can do for Content-Disposition for example, but S3 ignored the passed in header.
Or is there any other way to force a client to download the entire file at once?
Seems like it's not possible. Made the token expire later in hope it would take care of most cases.
But in case it doesn't make the client happy I will try and proxy it locally and remove all headers I don't like. Following this guide, https://coderwall.com/p/rlguog.
