OK, thanks for confirming it's not a JMeter problem. > The stupid site sends the responses wrapped differently for that one > page, resulting in the pattern not to match, resulting in a gigantic > portion of the html being included in the RegEx, which... you get the > idea. > Reminder to self: Always check, double- and triple-check your RegExes ! If you save the page with Save Response to a file, you can then reload it with HTTP Sampler using the "file" protocol. Makes it easy to quickly check REs etc. - just create a simple test plan with: Thread Group - HTTP Sampler (file) - - RE - Debug Sampler - Tree View Listener This can either be used standalone, or you can add to the failing test plan and disable the other thread group(s) when you want to run it.
