Hi, I am using the POST request in Jmeter and specifying a file a.log in the 'Send a file with request' option under HTTP Request.
The test runs fine and I get the following part in my output .xml file. ...... ...... ...... <sampleResult timeStamp="1098967817461" dataType="" threadName="" label="https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/secure/logon.html" time="172" responseMessage="Found" responseCode="302" success="true"><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">GET https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/secure/logon.html </property></sampleResult><sampleResult timeStamp="1098967817508" dataType="text" threadName="" label="https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/logon.jsp" time="47" responseMessage="OK" responseCode="200" success="true"><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">GET https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/logon.jsp </property></sampleResult><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">GET https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/logon.jsp</property></sampleResult> <sampleResult timeStamp="1098967817539" dataType="text" threadName="Thread Gruppe1-5" label="HTTP Request" time="187" responseMessage="OK" responseCode="200" success="true"><sampleResult timeStamp="1098967817352" dataType="" threadName="" label="http://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9090/admin/secure/logon.html" time="0" responseMessage="Found" responseCode="302" success="true"><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">POST http://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9090/admin/secure/logon.html Query data: </property></sampleResult> ...... ...... ...... I am not sure how to understand this content. The page I wanted the threads to access is https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/secure/logon.html. Port no: 9090, Protocol; POST, no of threads: 5 and loop: 2 I have the following doubts reg the o/p xml file. 1)How and why is a page https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/logon.jsp also being shown??? when i specify only the https://c960100006695.str.daimlerchrysler.com:9043/admin/secure/logon.html. page 2)Why do I get 'GET' infront of the jsp files? when I had only requested 'POST'? 3)I also sent a file rec.log with some data in it (data may also be binary content), I do not find any response with respect to the rec.log file, I sent??? I dont find any change before and after adding the file or a parameter name, will I see some indication in the xml regarding the file or the content that I send by 'POST' request. 4)Before every </property> tag, I find the string 'Query data:', what does this signify.? 5)Can I send a binary file via 'POST' request? bye, with regards, Deepak.
