How to support CSRF tokens in LoadForge tests, including Laravel integration.
Many modern web applications use CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens to prevent unauthorized form submissions. These temporary, random tokens ensure that POST requests originate from a trusted source. When running load tests with LoadForge, handling CSRF tokens correctly is crucial to prevent authentication failures (such as HTTP 419 errors).
A CSRF token is a security measure implemented by web applications to prevent attackers from forging requests on behalf of a user. These tokens are unique for each session and must be sent with every authenticated POST request.
Common CSRF Issues: If your LoadForge test is failing with an HTTP 419 error, it likely means that your request lacks a valid CSRF token.
