Re: Download embedded resources

[Dmitri T]

Hi,

Why would JMeter download the image given it doesn't have *src *attribute?
This *data-src* doesn't have any meaning neither for JMeter nor for 
browser hence it's being ignored (as well as any other data-* attribute 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/data-*>) 


If your web application uses this "data-src" for some form of lazy 
loading <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_loading>unfortunately there 
is no easy way to instruct JMeter to parse custom attributes which don't 
have any behaviour which is described in the specification 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1866#section-5.10>

So you have the following options:

1. Fetch URLs of the images having this "data-src" attribute using CSS
   Selector Extractor
   
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#CSS_Selector_Extractor>
   and then simulate the download using Parallel Sampler
   
<https://github.com/Blazemeter/jmeter-bzm-plugins/blob/master/parallel/Parallel.md#parallel-sampler>
2. Create your own version of HTTP Request sampler
   
<https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-to-develop-a-jmeter-plugin-intro-and-best-practices>
   which will be handling the images with "data-src" attributes
   according to your web application business or technical requirements.

Hello,

JMeter does not seem to be able to download an embedded image with this
kind of html tag:

<img class="xxxx" data-src="https://yyyy/image.jpg?sw=433&amp;sh=635&amp";  />

Is it configurable ?

Thanks
