The blog provides an in-depth guide on how to use Apache HTTP Client to obtain HTTP response status codes within Selenium WebDriver automation scripts. It explains the significance of HTTP status codes, which indicate the result of a browser's request to a website's server, and categorizes these codes into five classes ranging from informational (1xx) to server errors (5xx). The blog includes a practical demonstration of integrating Apache HTTP Client with Selenium WebDriver in Java to fetch these status codes, using the LambdaTest platform for testing across multiple browsers. It also outlines a step-by-step process to automate the testing of URLs on a webpage, logging the outcomes of successful and failed connections, and executing this on a Selenium Cloud Grid to optimize testing speed and efficiency.
