Hello; I'm running into a roadblock on a script I've developed. I'm using the HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier to read a JSESSIONID after successful login (which is appended to the URL and used in lieu of a cookie). I'm also using a Regular Expression Extractor early in the script to grab a viewstate, which I'm then plugging back in as a variable on all of my POSTS. Everything seems to work fine until I try to log out.
I'm using Fiddler to compare what's happening when I manually log out vs my JMeter script. The POST request that submits the logout request has nearly identical request headers (the only differences are in the user agent (different browsers), cookie (which is ignored by the server anyway) and referrer parameters (the manual request appends the jsessionid). The post data for both manual and jmeter are in agreement, but I have the "Use multipart/form-data for POST" checked in jmeter so there's a significant difference in content length. If I try unchecking that box, the POST data matches what I see in the manual run but I get a 500 response from the server. Using the Results Tree listener, it *looks* like JMeter is successful. However, logout never actually occurs - I can confirm that by checking the application itself. Also, while the response headers are exactly the same, the actual response is different: Successful (manual) response: <partial-response><redirect url="login.xhtml"></redirect></partial-response> Unsuccessful (JMeter) response: 4fc <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><partial-response id="j_id__v_0"><changes><eval><![CDATA[PrimeFaces.ajax.Utils.loadStylesheets(['/javax.faces.resource/components.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/scrollpanel/scrollpanel.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/fileupload/fileupload.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/styles.css.xhtml?ln=css']);PrimeFaces.ajax.Utils.loadScripts(['/javax.faces.resource/jquery/jquery.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/core.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/components.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/jquery/jquery-plugins.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/scrollpanel/scrollpanel.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/printer/printer.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/fileupload/fileupload.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/hotkey/hotkey.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/idlemonitor/idlemonitor.js.xhtml?ln=primefaces&v=6.0','/javax.faces.resource/jsf.js.xhtml?ln=javax.faces']);]]></eval><update id="j_id__v_0:javax.faces.ViewState:1"><![CDATA[SrBWcRfHXFrB2FWSo74DqYJn+Y5FIdi5APWsj4PtjFT5RQ5Y]]></update></changes></partial-response> 0 If anyone has any thoughts about how I might further troubleshoot this issue, I'd love to hear them. Note that I've tried tailing the Apache logs on the web server, but I'm not seeing a significant difference there. Thanks, Kurt
