Variables in included files

See original GitHub issue

When I use an include file with < the environment variables within are not processed.

I would like to call my authenticate.http which returns a token from within another http file.

Working Example:

# @name authenticate
POST http://{{host}}:{{port}}/lagan/services/FLAuth HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
SOAPAction: authenticate

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:flt="http://www.lagan.com/wsdl/FLTypes" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
   <soapenv:Header>
    <wsse:Security>
      <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd' >
        <wsse:Username>{{username}}</wsse:Username>
        <wsse:Password Type='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText'>
           {{password}}
        </wsse:Password>
      </wsse:UsernameToken>
    </wsse:Security>
   </soapenv:Header>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <authenticate xmlns=""/>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

###

@binary-token = {{authenticate.response.body.//*[name()='wsse:BinarySecurityToken']}}

# @name retrieveCaseDetails
POST http://{{host}}:{{port}}/lagan/services/FL HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
SOAPAction: retrieveCaseDetails

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:flt="http://www.lagan.com/wsdl/FLTypes" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
   <soapenv:Header>
    <wsse:Security>
    	<wsse:BinarySecurityToken>{{binary-token}}</wsse:BinarySecurityToken>
    </wsse:Security>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <flt:FWTCaseFullDetailsRequest>
         <flt:CaseReference>BAE4LCM5-101002585690</flt:CaseReference>
         <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
         <Option>all</Option><!-- all, core, eforms-r, eforms-rw, events, form, fullform, notes, tasks, workflow, interactions, eform-data -->
      </flt:FWTCaseFullDetailsRequest>
	</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

This works and grabs the {{binary-token}}. But I’d like to put the authenticate into it’s own file for reuse with other .http files.

Failing Example:

# @name authenticate
POST http://{{host}}:{{port}}/lagan/services/FLAuth HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
SOAPAction: authenticate

< authenticate.http

@binary-token = {{authenticate.response.body.//*[name()='wsse:BinarySecurityToken']}}

# @name retrieveCaseDetails
POST http://{{host}}:{{port}}/lagan/services/FL HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
SOAPAction: retrieveCaseDetails

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:flt="http://www.lagan.com/wsdl/FLTypes" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
   <soapenv:Header>
    <wsse:Security>
    	<wsse:BinarySecurityToken>{{binary-token}}</wsse:BinarySecurityToken>
    </wsse:Security>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <flt:FWTCaseFullDetailsRequest>
         <flt:CaseReference>BAE4LCM5-101002585690</flt:CaseReference>
         <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
         <Option>all</Option><!-- all, core, eforms-r, eforms-rw, events, form, fullform, notes, tasks, workflow, interactions, eform-data -->
      </flt:FWTCaseFullDetailsRequest>
	</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

But the {{username}} and {{password}} in authenticate.http are treated as plain-text literals.
