When running a browser via JMeter proxy, it is the responsibility of the browser to look after all the cookies. JMeter just passes the browser request across, and returns the response. It does not change the data.
When running a test, the browser is not present, and it is up to JMeter to handle cookies via the Cookie Manger. You can add some fixed cookies to that if you want, however that should not be necessary in most cases. All cookies ultimately originate from the remote server; any cookie that a browser sends was derived from a server at some stage. Indeed when you first use a browser with a particular server it won't have any cookies to send. Likewise if you clear the cookies from the browser cache. Indeed a browser can delete any cookies it wants if it runs out of storage. Unless you preset some cookies in the Cookie Manager, JMeter behaves like a browser with no pre-existing cookies. This is what the user will experience when connecting to a site for the first time. S On 31/08/06, Sen, Kakoli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Did not get any response. Is the problem clear? Basically, the cookie gets saved to the hard-disc of the client m/c. Then when the site is opened in a new IE window, the textfields should be populated with cookie data which is got from the client m/c. This is happenning through direct browser. But how do I ensure the same through JMeter proxy?

Press a button 'Save Cookie'. The cookie gets saved onto my hard-disc. 2) Close IE. 3) Open the same site in a new window. The text field should be populated by values entered earlier. When I try the above sequence through JMeter proxy, in step 3) the text fields are blank. From the 'View Result Tree' listener, the html response in step 3) gives blank text-fields. And the request comes thus : GET < <http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> <http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm [no cookies] Request Headers: Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: www.codehouse.com Accept-Language: en-us User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Cookie: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */* Note, the cookie is reflected in the request header, though it says [no cookies] in the middle. Now, where is the problem? Hope I could be clear.

You will only see it in the request in a later request. You should look in the response or in the next request to the same domain.

Then the site with the cookie produces the fol. in 'Request' tab of view tree : GET < <http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> <http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm> http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cjl/cookie/cookie_demo.htm [no cookies] Request Headers: Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: www.codehouse.com Accept-Language: en-us User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Cookie: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */* And the 'Response data' in HTML does not reflect the data stored in the cookies. But the page in IE reflects the data store in the cookies. Now, where is the problem? Also, how do I map the cookie data as it appears in the 'Request' of view tree to HTTP cookie manager? If the proxy could record the cookie directly onto a cookie manager like it does for header in Http header manager, then all this confusion could have been avoided.

You can then copy these over to the cookie manager.

But the proxy does not seem to record the cookies. Is that so? Then how do I test a web-site having cookies? I intend to use the Cookie Manager with hard-coded cookie values, which I thought would be automatically recorded by the proxy.
