Well I have found out what was causing the issue I was having and come up with a workaround. But this is definitely a bug that goes directly against the documentation for this feature:
According to http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server: "These entries will be treated as Perl-type regular expressions. They will be matched against the host name + the path of each browser request. Thus, if the URL you are browsing is * http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html?username=xxxx * , then the regular expression will be tested against the string: * "jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html"" *However the problem I was experiencing was that due to our images, js files, css files being referenced with a parameter ie /images/xxx.png?aaaaaaa the regular expression .*\.png in my URL Patterns to Exclude was not matching this, but changing the expression to .*\.png\?.* does match this file and so will be excluded. -Josh Joshua Auerbach wrote: > sebb wrote: > >> On 12/11/2007, Joshua Auerbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >>> I am trying to use the proxy server to record some test plans and am >>> running into the following options >>> >>> >> s/options/problems/ ? >> >> > problems ... that was a mistype ;-) > >> >> >>> even though I have things like >>> .*\.js >>> .*\.png >>> >>> in my "URL Patterns to Exclude" >>> >>> I am still seeing requests like >>> /javascript/xxx.js >>> >>> and >>> /images/xxx.png >>> >>> getting recorded. >>> >>> I have tried this with nothing in "URL Patterns to Include" and with .* >>> as an entry there >>> >>> What am I doing wrong?? >>> >>> >> Works fine for me. >> >> Check the entries carefully to make sure there are no spaces or other >> invisible characters before or after the patterns, and be sure to >> restart the proxy if you make a change. >> >> Also note that the pattern is case-sensitive - unless you prefix it with >> (?i). >> >> > I have made sure there are no hidden characters and all the extensions > are lower case.
