Issue with Header Manager
Hi,
I have a need to put in a custom HTTP request and am hoping to use the HTTP
Header Manager to do this but I am seeing a odd issue with duplicate
variable names:
The reqest need to be something like:
>>Request <<
PUT /lisa/calendar/newevent.ics HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: *
Host: cal.example.com
Content-Type: text/calendar
Content-Length: xxx
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Example Corp.//CalDAV Client//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:20010712T182145Z-123401@example.com
DTSTART:20010714T170000Z
DTEND:20010715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
But when I put these values into the HTTP Header Manager there is a
difference with with what Jmeter thinks its sending and what is actualy
sent. In the sample request listener everything looks ok but by using
Etherial I can see that when a variable is duplicated only the 2nd value is
used.
So the above header actulay shows up as...
PUT /lisa/calendar/newevent.ics HTTP/1.1
Host: caldavlinux.oracle.com
If-None-Match: *
Content-Type: text/calendar
BEGIN: VEVENT
VERSION: 2.0
PRODID: -//Example Corp.//CalDAV Client//EN
UID:20010712T182145Z-123401@example.com
DTSTAMP: 20060712T182145Z
DTSTART: 20060714T170000Z
DTEND: 20060715T040000Z
SUMMARY: Bastille Day Party
END: VCALENDAR
Authorization: Basic cmV6YS5yb2tuaUBvcmFjbGUuY29tOnRlc3Qx
User-Agent: Java/1.5.0_07
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
As can be seen the BEGIN and END values are only getting picked up for the
2nd occurance of the value in the JMX file.
Is there a known issue with this with any workarounds?
Cheers
R

Hi,
I picked the SOAP sampler as the GUI was a lot easier for my little Java
brain to understand...
But I will give it a bash with the Http sampler... The worst that can happen
is that it will go boom :)

Since the HTTP Samplers support PUT, why not use that as a base instead?
Otherwise, unless there are a lot of different combinations of files,
I think I would create the different samples with suitable names, and
use the file name.

Hi,
Was just thinking of a simple way around this I thought the following
customisation maybe straightforward for me to try out
Use the SOAP sampler and change the POST call to a PUT call and make it use
the Authorization Manager (the site needs Basic Authentication).
Does this look like a reasonable approach?

Depends:
If you use GET, then parameters are always included as part of the URL
- there is no body.
For POST, parameters are sent as part of the body, in the form:
p1=val1&p2=val2&...
> Am I missing the obvious and there is a way to change

No, at present the only way to send any content is to provide a file,
and there is no substitution of file contents.
There are no immediate plans to provide this facility.

Hi,
Yes you are correct this is part of the body. I was using the Header's as I
could not see how to alter the body message on the http request.
If I use the param values it gets placed as part of the URL before the
If-None-Match value. Am I missing the obvious and there is a way to change
the content of the body being sent with the HTTP sampler?
Thanx

These are body content, not headers, surely?

This is due to the Http implementation, not JMeter. The stand Http
Sampler uses the following method:
void java.net.URLConnection.setRequestProperty(String key, String value)
For which the Javadoc says:
>>
Sets the general request property. If a property with the key already
exists, overwrite its value with the new value.
NOTE: HTTP requires all request properties which can legally have
multiple instances with the same key to use a comma-seperated list
syntax which enables multiple properties to be appended into a single
property.

This is working as documented.
As far as I can tell, the VCard data should be sent as part of the
BODY, not headers.
