Request address after redirect

["Alan Molloy (ext. 713)" <Al...@fineos.com>]

Hi,
I wish to carry out a POST after a http request sampler that followed
redirects. The response from the last redirect had a <FORM> action tag left
blank, and hence, the post is to the location of the last redirect(ie. the
URL address as displayed in the browser, both URL and parameters, eg.
"http://myhome/context/redirectedlocation/redirected.jsp?redirectparam1=val1
&redirectparam2=val2").
Because of the dependency on redirects, and the amount of dynamic URL
rewriting going on, I cannot hardcode the address, because I can't predict
what address the server will redirect to. Is this address available using
jmeter to populate the path of the next http request? I can see jmeter
accessing it when I look at the results tree request data from the last
redirect, but just don't know how to get my hands on it for the next
request. I'm assuming regexp's only work off the previous response and not
the request?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Alan Molloy

Re: Request address after redirect

[Jordi Salvat i Alabart <js...@atg.com>]

The HTML Link Parser pre-processor should do this... my experience with 
it is very variable :-( but I would still give it a try.

If you know there will be a single redirect (and not a chain of them), 
you can also uncheck the "follow redirects" option and use a Regexp 
Extractor to find the URL in the response, then use that variable both 
to get the form and to post the response.

Hope this helps.

Salut,

Jordi.
