Thank you both, I should clarify. I am using JMeter 2.8 and usually I do see binary data, but specifically for few requests to akamai hosted video data, I cannot see the binary response although I see that the response body size is around 1000 bytes.
I expect to parse this binary data, as I know the binary structure of it. I'll try the trick with save response to file on Sunday and report back. Best, Shmuel Krakower.
