* Add -SkipHttpErrorCheck to web request cmdlets The -SkipHttpErrorCheck flag causes web request cmdlets (Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod) to ignore HTTP statuses that are error statuses and treat them as successful requests. This allows users to handle the responses using their own error handler and gives them access to the full, unmodified response body and headers. * Add -ResponseStatusVariable to Invoke-RestMethod This allows the user to specify a variable to set to the integer value of the respons's status code, Analogous to using -ResponseHeadersVariable to retrieve the headers of the response. This can be used to distinguish error messages from success messages when used with -SkipHttpErrorCheck. * Fix coding-style error The summary for the SkipHttpErrorCheck property didn't conform to style guidelines. This changes the summary to start with "Gets or sets". * Add tests for -SkipHttpErrorCheck This flag supresses terminating errors on web cmdlets. The tests are written to check that it properly supressed the errors. * Add test for -StatusCodeVariable Th -StatusCodeVariable parameter specifies an output variable for the status code with Invoke-RestMethod. This test makes sure it functions properly. * Fix typos and style for -SkipHttpErrorCheck tests Variables had different cases from each other and some parameter names were lower case. * Fix typos and style for -StatusCodeVariable test Variables had different cases from each other and some parameter names were lower case. * Add failure tests when missing -SkipHttpErrorCheck These tests ensure that Web Cmdlets fail when -SkipHttpErrorCheck is missing. * Clean up tests for -SkipHttpErrorCheck Per discussion on the pull requests. This commit fixes up style problems with the tests for -SkipHttpErrorCheck. * Add more status tests for -StatusCodeVariable Previously, the -StatusCodeVariable flag in Invoke-RestMethod only had tests for 200 status. This commit adds tests for 404 and 500 statuses and removes -SkipHttpErrorCheck from the 200 check. * Fix response body in -StatusCodeVariable test The test was copy/pastes from the 200 status test. The body indicated success. This commit fixes that so it is also an error indicator.
PowerShell
Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community! PowerShell Core is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works well with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.
Windows PowerShell vs. PowerShell Core
Although this repository started as a fork of the Windows PowerShell code base, changes made in this repository do not make their way back to Windows PowerShell 5.1 automatically. This also means that issues tracked here are only for PowerShell Core 6. Windows PowerShell specific issues should be opened on UserVoice.
