I have a modifier that can change HTTP request variables for each jmeter thread (ie user).
The HTTP parameters (name value pairs) to be changed for each user, are contained in a file, and any matching HTTP request variables are then changed to the values in the file. (Note the file can contain multiple users, each user can have multiple HTTP parameters to be modified). This enables jmeter to simulate multiple different users at once. If more jmeter threads are started, than users listed in the file, then the user information is allocated to jmeter threads in a round robin fashion. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you a copy of the code.

However, it doesn't address the requirement that you list below... that would need a different type of modifier. Kate "Mo, Jennifer" wrote: > > This sounds very useful. Did you already test this?
