I don't understand your comment about "no proxy here" for item#b below. The proxy is running when the file is being uploaded. Shouldn't this be the case? There is no user authentication. The app runs fine without file upload. I have just now turned off the file upload and everything is hunkydory. I think my question should be very elementary because I am not able to upload using jmeter. There are no errors in the log.......
Thanks & Regards Murthy ________________________________ From: Deepak Shetty <[email protected]> To: JMeter Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 12:42:23 PM Subject: Re: file upload problem You are confusing two issues a. Recording Jmeter Script with proxy - Interesting to see why , but not really a priority, can be tackled later. b. Running a Jmeter script with file upload. (no proxy here). Whether JMeter sends the file is separate from whether your application adds/updates the record. If your file path is correct then Jmeter will be sending the file , its probably related data that isn't correct. Compare what Jmeter does with Fiddler/LiveHttpHeaders. You've havent provided any other details (e.g. does your app need the user to be authenticated before he can upload anything , is there any other related data, is there any https involved), you'll need to check your app regards deepak On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 9:28 AM, murthy gandikota < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the fast reply.
