Thanks for the reply. I've started experimenting with the TCP Sampler, and I think I'm close, but I'm missing something. May I ask you a few questions on how you've simulated the requests?
What I've done: I've sent some requests generated from a python script and I can setup sessions and play and teardown, etc. I'm watching the traffic using wireshark and seeing the requests and responses. I'm basically copying the valid request text from the wireshark traffic and pasting it into he TCPSampler "text to send" for example: OPTIONS rtsp://10.253.239.205:554 RTSP/1.0 CSeq: 346 Require: com.comcast.ngod.r2 Wireshark indicates this is an RTSP message, but the streaming server rejects it. So, I think I'm on the right track. Any ideas are appreciated. -Ed What I've tried to do is to copy the request from wireshark and paste it into the TCPSampler "text to send".
