[Reposting] "Redirect automatically" means that the underlying HTTP protocol handler is asked to process the redirects - so JMeter should never see them.
If JMeter detects a redirect, "follow redirects" means that JMeter will load the new page. Early versions of Java did not handle redirects properly, or at all. The docs do need to be updated...patches and/or bug reports welcome!

The user doc page is below. http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-monitor-test-plan.html basically, tomcat 5.0 has a status servlet, which will return information about the number of threads, and memory usage. Based on that data, JMeter will monitor the server and show the performance history. peter lin "Casadonte, Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have a couple of questions on some of the new, currently-undocumented 2.0 HTTP Request Sampler options: 1) What's the difference between "Redirect Automatically" and "Follow Redirects"? 2) What does "Use as Monitor" do?
