Thanks for the pointers Alf.
I just tried the following nightly build (after a google, it wasn't obvious on
the site):
jakarta-jmeter-r525254_bin.zip 04-Apr-2007 08:29 2.3M
jakarta-jmeter-r525254_lib.zip 04-Apr-2007 08:29 7.6M
Success!
Using the same test case (which referenced an HTTP Request sampler) the file
was passed through correctly:
Wireshark capture:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
POST /example/path HTTP/1.1\r\n
Request Method: POST
Request URI: /example/path
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
Connection: close\r\n
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n
Content-Length: 119
User-Agent: Java/1.5.0_11\r\n <----- not curl!
Host: localhost:1234\r\n
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2\r\n
\r\n
Line-based text data: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
<!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE SYSTEM "C:\EXAMPLE.dtd">\r\n
<Doc>\r\n
<Asset>\r\n
<Tag Place="Wonderland" Person="Alice" />\r\n
</Asset>\r\n
</Doc>
Btw the same result was achieved using the HTTP Request HTTP Client sampler.
Any idea when the next formal release is planned?
Cheers,
Alex

I'm not sure I understand the following ... If you put the "post body" you want
to send in a file, and then reference the filename in the "Filename" field HTTP
Request GUI"
The file I reference only contains the following:
<!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE SYSTEM "C:\EXAMPLE.dtd">
<Doc>
<Asset>
<Tag Place="Wonderland" Person="Alice" />
</Asset>
</Doc>
Are you saying I need to include some HTTP protocol information as well as the
data?
Btw using Jmeter 2.2 and following your instructions with the above file the
following is recorded by wireshark.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
POST /example/path HTTP/1.1\r\n
Request Method: POST
Request URI: /example/path
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
Connection: close\r\n
Content-Type: multipart/form-data;
boundary=---------------------------7d159c1302d0y0\r\n
User-Agent: Java/1.5.0_11\r\n
Host: localhost:1234\r\n
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2\r\n
Content-Length: 346
\r\n
MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary:
"---------------------------7d159c1302d0y0"
[Type: multipart/form-data]
First boundary: -----------------------------7d159c1302d0y0\r\n
Encapsulated multipart part: ()
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="";

Content-Type: \r\n
\r\n
Media Type
Media Type: (119 bytes)
Last boundary: \r\n-----------------------------7d159c1302d0y0--\r\n
Rather than the following produced by curl
Hypertext Transfer Protocol

Request URI: /example/path
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.12.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.12.1
OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6\r\n
Host: localhost:1234\r\n
Pragma: no-cache\r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
Content-Length: 119
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n
\r\n
Line-based text data: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
<!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE SYSTEM "C:\EXAMPLE.dtd">\r\n
<Doc>\r\n
<Asset>\r\n
<Tag Place="Wonderland" Person="Alice" />\r\n
</Asset>\r\n
</Doc>
I'll try using the nightly build if I can find it :-)

Hi
At first I thought this wasn't currently possible.
But when I saw that you were using a file with curl, I remembered how
the HTTP Post code works, and I think it is possible to do.
If you put the "post body" you want to send in a file, and then
reference the filename in the "Filename" field HTTP Request GUI, and not
specify any value for "Mimetype" nor "Value for "name" attribute",
then the HTTP Post code will send the file content as the only content
of the post body.
I think that will work as you expect. If it does not work with Jmeter
2.2, I suggest you try with the latest nightly build, since I have
changed the HTTP Post handling in Jmeter a bit lately,
but I am not sure if you need the changes I have made, I don't remember
exactly.
Note that this discussion is a bit similar to the discussion going on
under the subject "$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA" on this mailing list.
Regards
Alf Hogemark
