as always compare your Jmeter sent data with your browser sent data (using livehttpheaders or equivalent). in all probability you havent sent the data as your server expects.(or the server is performing some authorization checks etc which arent being fulfilled). you should verify whether jmeter is sending data using something like wireshark. Your jboss/tomcat not printing out a message does not necessarily indicate that the file was not sent, only that it wasnt successful.
the proxy not working is strange , does your app work with any other proxy? e,g, use fiddler in IE regards deepak On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 2:01 PM, murthy gandikota < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Deepak > Thanks for your reply > The test plan has a request to upload a file by specifying a parameter. > > The parameter name is uploadFileName > The mime type is application/pdf > The file to attach is given with its entire path like c:\test.pdf > > The resulting Jmeter script is not sending the file attachment.
