The HTML samplers can automatically retrieve embedded images from web pages, but it doesn't work for all XHTML pages or WML pages. I thought I'd warn users about this, and bounce my solution off you good people.
JMeter determines whether a file is HTML by checking that its media type is text/html. If it's something else, for example application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, text/xml or text/vnd.wap.wml, then it won't try to parse the file to retrieve embedded resources. So if you're trying to test a WAP or XHTML application, JMeter may not be able to do what you want. As far as I can tell, this could be fixed most simply by changing org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase as follows: 1. In downloadPageResources(), "text/html" is hardcoded. Either read a list of allowed media types from properties, or hardcode a list of media types. Maybe just allow any media type that contains "html" or "wml". 2. If parsing a WML page, ignore the configured parser and use RegexpHTMLParser. (I guess the other parsers won't handle WML.) Could some knowledgeable person confirm that this should work? If so, I will hunt down a JDK and try to make it happen. If I can find time I will try to submit a patch, but don't hold your breath...
