I have a JMeter script that includes some HTTP samplers going to different
servers. Two of the HTTP samplers are going to the same server and represent a
small amount of the total traffic getting generated by the script. The two
samplers are only generating around 2 HPS for their target server. Excluding
these two samplers, the script is not sending any other traffic to this server.
Despite the low load, the first of the two samplers will start generating
"target server failed to respond" errors after a minute or so of running and
gradually increase in frequency. If I swap the order of the samplers, the
first one will generate the errors and the second one will never generate
errors. After doing some research, I changed the implementation method to
"Java" and now I don't get any errors. Is this expected? I've never toyed
with the implementation setting before. Any thoughts on why HttpClient4 would
be problematic but Java would work fine? I'm using JMeter 2.13.
Thanks,
Glenn
