Variable label for sampler

[Jean-Denis Giguere <jd...@fastmail.fm>]

I'm working on a test plan for web mapping server. I have to simulate 
the user's zoom-in action. Currently, I use the __StringFromFile to 
generate a variable CGI parameter.

The delay of the request is considerably dependant of this parameter and 
it is almost necessery to know it to interpret the result. For this 
reason I would like to have the requested URL on my .jtl log file.

I'm looking for a way to get this information on my log. I didn't see in 
the documentation the possibility to save the request without saving the 
  the result. saveResponseData save the request, but also the reponse 
which is a quite big binary file (image).

I tried to put a variable in the name field of the HTTP Request sampler 
(known as label on the log file) but I don't find a syntax that allow 
substitution in this field.

I will really appriciate any hint to be able to log the url or at least 
get my cgi parameter on the log.

Thanks for your attention,

Sure, ${varName} should work fine there.  Of course, you have to setup
that variable prior to the request, but you can do that via a User
Parameters pre processor that sets varName to the value of
__StringFromFile.
