Unfortunatly the HTTP Header Manager is not a valid solution because it does not allow to propagate the querystring that was used in the referer. Consider this example:
display_forum.html?num=1 ----------------------------------- <some html tags> <script src="/get_forum_thread.jsp"></script> ---------------------------------------- As you can see, the engine need to know which exact referer (the url AND the querystring) was used to compute the requested information, ( it means that with the referer the engine is able to determine the querystring that was used with the html page) You cant achieve that with an HTTP Header Manager. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stover, Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'JMeter Developers List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 4:11 PM Subject: RE: HTTP request and referer > So, you need to specify custom headers in your JMeter scripts.
