Hi David,
Sorry for the confusion, my documentation is the cause of your problems.
The "HTTP User Parameter modifier" will only change parameters values in a
"HTTP Request" if the EXACT same parameter name exists in both the "HTTP
Request" and the users.xml file.
Using your example as a demonstration. That is, where the proxy server
parses the following key value pair from a form.
Parameter Name is first_name
Parameter Value is Bob
and a section of the users.xml looks like the following
<thread>
<parameter>
<paramname>first_name</paramname>
<paramvalue>VONG</paramvalue>
</parameter>
.
.
.
If the Modification Controller looks like the following:
Modification Controller
HTTP User Parameter Modifier
HTTP Request
Now when Jmeter runs, the "HTTP Request" that contained
Parameter Name is first_name
Parameter Value is Bob
will be changed to
Parameter Name is first_name
Parameter Value is VONG
The example I sent you should NOT have contained the "HTTP HTML Link
Parser". It crept in there as the load testing I was doing at the time,
called for a unique one-time-token issued by the server, to be returned
with each form post back to the server. I was using the "HTTP HTML Parser"
to populate the form with the unique one-time-token, and the "HTTP User
Parameter Modifier" to change userid's in the form.
Regards,
Mark Walsh

Also, do the <paramname> entries in users.xml have to match the names parsed
from the html page? Or is
it the case that you name them arbitrarily and then insert those names into
the name value
fields in your http request. To illustrate:
Let's say that I run a proxy server on the form and it parses the key val
pair:
Name Value
FirstName Bob
and in users.xml I have
<thread>
<parameter>
<paramname>first_name</paramname>
<paramvalue>VONG</paramvalue>
</parameter>
.
.
! ; .
I then insert a link parser and the User Parameter Modifier into my
modification controll
er before the form request as per your instructions:
Modification Controller
HTTP HTML Link Parser
HTTP User Parameter Modifier
HTTP Request
Now in my form should I replace what was recorded with
Name Value
Firstname first_name
or. . .
Name Value
Firstname .*
The idea being that I want to replace the value with "VONG" for this thread.
I must be brain
dead or something cuz neither of these is working. If I could just figure
out which to
use then I can safely assume that I have some other wierd problem happening.
