There is no actual poll example .jmx file or web site to run it against. The example
is meant to
show where to put the HTML Link Parser and which HTTP Request it will modify. It also
shows
the simple regular expression in the HTTP Request that will be replaced with values
found on
the response page from the previous request.
The 'Setup Poll' HTTP Request is irrelevant. It could be anything, provided the
server's
response to that request is a page of HTML that contains the form elements that the
next
request is looking for. If we look at the Request labelled 'Do Poll', we find that it
is looking for
a form (ie method is POST), with an action of 'record_poll.jsp', and at least two form
elements
called 'poll_name' and 'poll_choice'.
For example, if the page returned from the 'Setup Poll' request looked like:
<html><head><title>Do poll</title></head>
<body>
Select your favorite color:
<form action="record_poll.jsp" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="poll_name" value="color_poll"/>
<input type="radio" name="poll_choice" value="red"/>Red<br>
<input type="radio" name="poll_choice" value="green"/>Green<br>
<input type="radio" name="poll_choice" value="blue"/>Blue<br>
<input type="radio" name="poll_choice" value="yellow"/>Yellow<br>
<input type="radio" name="poll_choice" value="purple"/>Purple<br>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body></html>
Then the 'Do Poll' request would have the '.*' value replaced with one of Red, Green,
Blue,
Yellow, or Purple - chosen at random each time through the test.
