It turns out the case is harder than I thought. When the script has several HTTP Header Manager components at different levels, then the current JMeter approach is to merge header managers with `org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.HeaderManager#merge(org.apache.jmeter.testelement.TestElement)` Apparently, that fails in case HTTP Header Managers are shared across threads. The next issue is that the "temporary" header managers are not reset after HTTP sampler execution, and they are re-created only before the next execution. In other words, even if we eliminate HTTP Header Manager cloning "before thread starts", then it would generate copies during test execution anyway. The worst thing is that `org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase#getHeaderManager() returns HeaderManager` is a public method, so changing it would likely affect backward compatibility. Frankly speaking, I'm quite disappointed by all that. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
