Ok - thx for the prompt response - I think that pretty well spells things out but I would just like to confirm:
JMeter does not support the scenario where you have data to post at the same time as you have parameters to send (because I don't see how to send the parameters in the XML sampler unless they just go in the beginning - not too likely) Which is to say that I want post data along with a url like this : http://someIPaddress/academy/servlet/Training?studentId=14&cachekiller=1076447755966&method=saveResults Thx again. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Courneyea Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 5:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using proxy to record script with xml POSTed to servlet - help! So I got the JMeter proxy to work in order to record test scripts - very nice - but when it arrives at a POST with xml data, it seems to need to resolve the xml into a name/value pair. After searching this mailing list, I seemed to come up with 2 possible solutions as work arounds: 1) use a header manager to change content-type to text/xml Result: the content-type as shown in the recorded test script is already text/xml so that can't be the problem 2) use a SOAP/XML-RPC sampler Result: nothing. I added it as a child to the original http request. When that didn't work, I tried putting it at the same level, just after the original http request. I made sure the garbled xml was removed from the name\value list in the original. I made sure the proper name\value pairs were added to the original. My first question is - is this a bug in the script recording from the proxy or something I am doing? I am so hoping it is something I am doing. My second question is - assuming I am working with a bug, is the work around I am attempting possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Any and all help is appreciated.
