Hi, The "later" response returns encoded.
So, a value from URL1 response is regex extracted in a variable $SAMLresponse. Then later, in another HttpClient sampler, this SAMLresponse is posted to URL2 (in the request). In the posted HTML, the value of $SAMLresponse is URLencoded, which is not correct. This URLencoded value is received by the server at URL2. (the value is urlencoded, htmlencoded and base64encoded. That's one urlencoding too much.) When manually, outside jmeter, urldecoding the value copied from the posted HTML, and sending it to URL2, it works. So, it seems that jmeter urlencodes the value of $SAMLresponse. Any way to prevent this? rgds, Frank. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Speteanu" <[email protected]> To: "JMeter Users List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 8, 2010 2:02:19 PM Subject: Re: prevent POST encode in jmeter hello, is jmeter POST request being encoded (in request tab of view results tree)? it's not very clear from your mail, my understanding is that the "later" response returns encoded. if jmeter sends the request as you have pasted it bellow, when you POST the data initially, then it means that the application must do some character escaping and that depends on the application alone. if so, when jmeter receives the page that contains what you post-ed, it might be shown escaped as you have seen bellow. otherwise, I can't reproduce the situation where jmeter sends that text encoded without the encode checkbox being used. any other thoughts? I can't think of any reasons for the behaviour described. --Adrian S On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 6:26 PM, Frank Bezema <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > Jmeter seems to encode a variable in POST: > > original value regex extracted from earlier response data, HTTP request > (shown in view results table): > > ...LjA6
