I have a request parameter that I'm attempting to parse using an ExtractVariables policy.
The parameter is provided as a query parameter, but the value contains a string of key/value pairs separated using the '&' character (as if they were query parameters themselves)
For example, the query string appears as follows:
responseData=Item1=value1&Item2=value2
My ExtractVariable policy includes the following:
<Variable name="request.queryParam.responseData">
<Pattern ignoreCase="true">Item1={item_1_value}&Item2={item_2_value}</Pattern>
</Variable>
The value for request.queryParam.responseData is "Item1=value1&Item2=value2" and is confirmed in my proxy trace.
The parameter matching does not seem to respect the '&' entity in the pattern validation. I've also attempted to use the HTML encoded value for ampersand "%26" instead of the XML entity but neither option seems to support the match I'm trying to achieve.
Any suggestions how else I might to resolve my predicament?
