Might I suggest that JMeter must also retrieve parse the result and retrieve Framesets 
automatically otherwise Timers will become increasingly unusable! 

Take as an example a login.jsp URL that upon successful authentication returns the 
following (Home) page: 

<frameset rows=52,* framespacing=0 frameborder=no border=0>
  <frame name="witopbar" src="topBar.htm" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no 
frameborder=0 NORESIZE> 
  <frameset cols=80,* framespacing=0 frameborder=no border=0> 
    <frame name="winavigationbar" src="navigationBar.jsp?WflowType=W" marginwidth=0 
marginheight=0 scrolling=AUTO frameborder=0 target="rbottom" noresize > 
    <frame name="rbottom" src="welcomeDefault.jsp"> 
  </frameset> 
</frameset> 

The browser interprets this and immediately sends THREE requests back to the server 
a) toBar.htm 
b) navigationBar.jsp 
c) welcomeDefault.jsp 

So I end up with several URLs sampled by the HTTP Proxy Server (not a problem in its 
own right since this is an accurate picture of the load on the server) 

My problem is that a Timer will place a delay between each of the three "sub" requests 
when really it should not pause for these three at all! 

The only options I see are to a) make the Timers more intelligent (by "grouping" them 
into individual mouse-clicks) or b) make the HTTP Sampler behave more like a browser 
and retrieve these frames automatically in a similar way to images. 


What are your thoughts?
