Magic String Case Sensitivity

A magic string is a string that in a request argument that is later seen in a response for that conversation. When looking for magic strings, a match is not case-sensitive. Magic string case processing is shown through the following logic:

• If we see "dallas" in the request and "DALLAS" in the response during recording, then we get "austin" during playback, we respond with "AUSTIN".
• If we see "DALLAS" in the request and "dallas" in the response during recording, then we get "AUSTIN" during playback, we respond with "austin".
• If we see "dallas" in the request and "Dallas" in the response during recording, then we get "austin" during playback, we respond with "Austin".
• If we see "dallas" in the request and "DaLLas" in the response during recording, and during playback we see "austin", we send back "austin", not "AuSTin". If you must explicitly deal with this mixed-case response in your service image, alter the response for the meta-transaction to include a callout to your custom Java code such as:

  {{=MyHelperClass.mixedCase(request_city);}}
