Performing HTTP purge request for cache/proxy servers

[David Luu <ma...@gmail.com>]

To purge the cache or proxy server as part of test setup (or teardown), one
can do something like this in Java:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12949457/how-do-i-do-http-purge-from-java

I'm just wondering whether anyone has interfaced HTTP purge call with
JMeter via Beanshell or any of the other script pre/post processors or as a
plugin, etc.

I just figured it be useful to use what's available rather than reinvent
the wheel.

I don't have an immediate need for this but there might be a time in the
future where I might want to do this as part of load/performance testing
(to have clean starting cache state w/o having to go through server side to
purge cache).

Regards,
David

For the rest, ie calling before starting or after,  use setup / teardow
thread groups.

Hello David,
I suggest you open an enhancement request as for now HTTP Method are fixed.

For now your option is to use third party jmeter plugins:
