The browser is not sending in a name/value pair post. There is an ActiveX object
created by javascript that sends in post method but just the data. I think it uses
xml http. I'm discovering this as I go. A sample javascript to invoke this may look
like
var objHTTP = new
ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");objHTTP.Open('POST','servletname',false);
objHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-type","text/plain;
charset=UTF-8");objHTTP.Send("148/GetTableEntryList/8/");
Since I think it's using xml http, looks like I have to write a new sampler. But the
soap-xml request looks like something I can use or build off of.

to summarize, the browser is sending the post data. So is that text a
name/value pair? now I am confused. if it's sent by the browser, is
there some activeX or applet sending the data?
in a normal is it even possible to send just
"148/GetTableEntryList/8/" without a parameter name? I didn't think
it was possible.
if it's a normal name/value pair, you should be able to access it with
the normal request parameter objects. if not, I'm totally lost as to
exactly what you're trying to achieve.
