Hi I'm hoping to enhance the HTTP Request sampler, by adding functionality to support multipart/form-data http post request with only parameters, if the user selects to do that. And also add support for uploading several files in one HTTP request. There are also other bugzilla entries which might very well require more options in the HTTP Request gui.
I feel that in order to be able to add more options for the user for HTTP Request, the GUI needs to be restructured. I think it should be easy and simple for normal users, who I guess only are doing "HTTP GET" requests. But it must also have room for options for more advanced users, i.e. doing HTTP Post with many files. I suggest to have the upper part of the GUI as it is now, but to change the lower part to use a tabbed pane layout. I suggest tabs such as "options", "parameters", "file upload". Do you think it makes sense to restructure the GUI in this way ? Secondly, do you have any opinion on how much effort it would be to restructure the GUI and the code like I suggest, and still being able to read old test plans and populate the GUI correctly. If you don't like my suggestion for restructuring the GUI, how do you think we can add more options to this already quite crowded GUI ? I have added a prototype patch to bugzilla entry 41917 (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41917) if you want to have a look at how the GUI could look like. Sebb suggested to have this discussion on the mailing list, and then I can add the conclusions to the bugzilla entry, and try to make a proper patch accordingly.
