Refresh page Issue

Hi All,
Can somebody tell me the Difference between IE Browser refreshing a
page and Jmeter accessing the page two times consecutively. 1st time
for accessing the page and immediately hitting the same page immitate
the page refresh scenario.

Thanks in advance,
Ravindra

Ravindra,

In general, if you soft refresh a page in IE (pressing F5 for example),
it will send 'if-modified-since' requests to the server for all the
sub-elements of the page (images etc).  This will normally cause the
server to respond with a 304 - not modified.  Thus the refresh loads the
server very little.  JMeter will normally load every part of the page
twice if the sampler is set to retrieve the page elements.

If you hard refresh a page in IE (Ctrl F5) then it behaves a lot more
like JMeter.  However, IE is notoriously bad at actually bothering to
reload stuff, so there is always likely to be some different.  To ensure
a true reload, install the MS IE Developer's tool bar, turn off IE's
cache using it and then refresh. 

Cheers

AJ
