+ <p><b>There are two different test elements used to define the samplers:</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>AJP/1.3 Sampler - uses the Tomcat mod_jk protocol (allows testing of Tomcat in AJP mode without needing Apache httpd)
The AJP Sampler does not support multiple file upload; only the first file will be used.
-
-</li>
+ </li>
+ <li>HTTP Request - this has an implementation drop-down box, which selects the HTTP protocol implementation to be used:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Java - uses the HTTP implementation provided by the JVM.
+ This has some limitations in comparison with the HttpClient implementations - see below.</li>
+ <li>HTTPClient3.1 - uses Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1.
+ This is no longer being developed, and support for this may be dropped in a future JMeter release.</li>
+ <li>HTTPClient4 - uses Apache HttpComponents HttpClient 4.x.</li>
+ <li>Blank Value - does not set implementation on HTTP Samplers, so relies on HTTP Request Defaults if present or on jmeter.httpsampler property defined in jmeter.properties</li>
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ <p>The Java HTTP implementation has some limitations:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>There is no control over how connections are re-used.
+ When a connection is released by JMeter, it may or may not be re-used by the same thread.</li>
+ <li>The API is best suited to single-threaded usage - various settings
+ are defined via system properties, and therefore apply to all connections.</li>
+ <li>There is a bug in the handling of HTTPS via a Proxy (the CONNECT is not handled correctly).
+ See Java bugs 6226610 and 6208335.
+ </li>
+ <li>It does not support virtual hosts.</li>
+ <li>It does not support the following methods: COPY, LOCK, MKCOL, MOVE, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, UNLOCK, REPORT, MKCALENDAR.</li>
+ <li>It does not support client based certificate testing with Keystore Config.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Note: the FILE protocol is intended for testing purposes only.
+ It is handled by the same code regardless of which HTTP Sampler is used.</p>
+ <p>If the request requires server or proxy login authorization (i.e. where a browser would create a pop-up dialog box),
+ you will also have to add an <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Authorization_Manager">HTTP Authorization Manager</a> Configuration Element.
+ For normal logins (i.e. where the user enters login information in a form), you will need to work out what the form submit button does,
+ and create an HTTP request with the appropriate method (usually POST)
+ and the appropriate parameters from the form definition.
+ If the page uses HTTP, you can use the JMeter Proxy to capture the login sequence.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In versions of JMeter up to 2.2, only a single SSL context was used for all threads and samplers.
+ This did not generate the proper load for multiple users.
+ A separate SSL context is now used for each thread.
+ To revert to the original behaviour, set the JMeter property:
+<pre>
+https.sessioncontext.shared=true
+</pre>
+ By default, the SSL context is retained for the duration of the test.
+ In versions of JMeter from 2.5.1, the SSL session can be optionally reset for each test iteration.
+ To enable this, set the JMeter property:
+<pre>
+https.use.cached.ssl.context=false
+</pre>
+ Note: this does not apply to the Java HTTP implementation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ JMeter defaults to the SSL protocol level TLS.
+ If the server needs a different level, e.g. SSLv3, change the JMeter property, for example:
+<pre>
+https.default.protocol=SSLv3
+</pre>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ JMeter also allows one to enable additional protocols, by changing the property <tt>https.socket.protocols</tt>.
+ </p>
+ <p>If the request uses cookies, then you will also need an
+ <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Cookie_Manager">HTTP Cookie Manager</a>. You can
+ add either of these elements to the Thread Group or the HTTP Request. If you have
+ more than one HTTP Request that needs authorizations or cookies, then add the
+ elements to the Thread Group. That way, all HTTP Request controllers will share the
+ same Authorization Manager and Cookie Manager elements.</p>

-The Java HTTP implementation has some limitations:
-</p>
-
-
-<ul>
-
-
-<li>
-There is no control over how connections are re-used.
- When a connection is released by JMeter, it may or may not be re-used by the same thread.
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-The API is best suited to single-threaded usage - various settings
- are defined via system properties, and therefore apply to all connections.
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-There is a bug in the handling of HTTPS via a Proxy (the CONNECT is not handled correctly).
- See Java bugs 6226610 and 6208335.

-
-
-<li>
-It does not support virtual hosts.
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-It does not support the following methods: COPY, LOCK, MKCOL, MOVE, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, UNLOCK, REPORT, MKCALENDAR.
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-It does not support client based certificate testing with Keystore Config.
-</li>
-
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<p>
-Note: the FILE protocol is intended for testing purposes only.
- It is handled by the same code regardless of which HTTP Sampler is used.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-If the request requires server or proxy login authorization (i.e. where a browser would create a pop-up dialog box),
- you will also have to add an
-<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Authorization_Manager">HTTP Authorization Manager</a>
- Configuration Element.
- For normal logins (i.e. where the user enters login information in a form), you will need to work out what the form submit button does,
- and create an HTTP request with the appropriate method (usually POST)
- and the appropriate parameters from the form definition.
- If the page uses HTTP, you can use the JMeter Proxy to capture the login sequence.
-

-
-
-<p>
-
- In versions of JMeter up to 2.2, only a single SSL context was used for all threads and samplers.
- This did not generate the proper load for multiple users.
- A separate SSL context is now used for each thread.
- To revert to the original behaviour, set the JMeter property:
-
-<pre>
-
-https.sessioncontext.shared=true
-
-</pre>
-
- By default, the SSL context is retained for the duration of the test.
- In versions of JMeter from 2.5.1, the SSL session can be optionally reset for each test iteration.
- To enable this, set the JMeter property:
-
-<pre>
-
-https.use.cached.ssl.context=false
-
-</pre>
-
- Note: this does not apply to the Java HTTP implementation.
-
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-
- JMeter defaults to the SSL protocol level TLS.
- If the server needs a different level, e.g. SSLv3, change the JMeter property, for example:
-
-<pre>
-
-https.default.protocol=SSLv3
-
-</pre>
-
-
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-
- JMeter also allows one to enable additional protocols, by changing the property
-<tt>
-https.socket.protocols
-</tt>
-.
-
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-If the request uses cookies, then you will also need an
-
-<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Cookie_Manager">HTTP Cookie Manager</a>
-. You can
- add either of these elements to the Thread Group or the HTTP Request. If you have
- more than one HTTP Request that needs authorizations or cookies, then add the
- elements to the Thread Group. That way, all HTTP Request controllers will share the
- same Authorization Manager and Cookie Manager elements.

In Post Body mode, each line will be sent with CRLF appended, apart from the last line.
To send a CRLF after the last line of data, just ensure that there is an empty line following it.

+<b>Method Handling:</b><br>
The POST, PUT and PATCH request methods work similarly, except that the PUT and PATCH methods do not support multipart requests
or file upload.
The PUT and PATCH method body must be provided as one of the following:
-
<ul>
-
-
-<li>
-define the body as a file with empty Parameter name field; in which case the MIME Type is used as the Content-Type
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-define the body as parameter value(s) with no name
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-use the Post Body tab

+<li>define the body as parameter value(s) with no name</li>
+<li>use the Post Body tab</li>
</ul>
-
If you define any parameters with a name in either the sampler or Http
defaults then nothing is sent.
PUT and PATCH require a Content-Type.
If not using a file, attach a Header Manager to the sampler and define the Content-Type there.
The GET and DELETE request methods work similarly to each other.

In version 2.5 of JMeter, the HttpClient4 and Commons HttpClient 3.1 samplers used the default retry count, which was 3.
In later versions, the retry count has been set to 1, which is what the Java implementation appears to do.
The retry count can be overridden by setting the relevant JMeter property, for example:

-
httpclient4.retrycount=3
httpclient3.retrycount=3
