I'm using jmeter 1.9.1 on windows 2000 and sun jvm 1.3.1. I set up a simple test to hit a test page (no processing - just an http sampler). The home page has a extended ascii character (™) - tm. JMeter appears to simply stop reading the response when it reaches the extended character. For example:
Here's the xsl code: <p>Welcome to <b>ACS for the Java™ Platform</b>! The home of the ACS community is at <a href="http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/" title="ACS DeveloperCommunity">http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/</a>. Should you ever get stuck, or if you just want to hang out with other ACS users, visit the <a href="http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/bboard/" title="ArsDigita Discussion Forums">discussion forums</a>. If you find bugs or have feature requests, post them to the "Java Novices" forum. </p> Here's a snip of the html response as shown via mozilla's page source: <p>Welcome to <b>ACS for the Java* Platform</b>!

If you find bugs or have feature requests, post them to the "Java Novices" forum. </p> I quickly tested the � character (®) and it worked fine, in fact it seems to get translated to ® by the server (at least viewing the page source from mozilla shows this). I can easily change my code in this circumstance, and I guess grep through my pages to see if it exists anywhere else. However, are there other known characters that will mess JMeter up? Thanks, Bob
