Problems with binary characters in parameters

[Simon Sadedin <ss...@badboy.com.au>]

Hi,

This might be a question for the developers more than anyone else.

I've been supporting the "Export to JMeter" feature in Badboy for some 
time now.  One problem that occasionally comes up is that people record 
parameters that contain characters that are illegal in XML (eg. binary 
chars 0-8, 0x0e - 0x19 are all illegal in XML documents).   When Badboy 
saves these files they end up unparseable because the file format (as I 
understand it) contains the "raw" parameter values (unencoded) - and in 
this case that means they contain illegal XML characters.

I'm curious if anyone has run into this before, and if there's any way 
to encode these kind of binary parameters that will work with the JMeter 
file format?

Many thanks for any help!

Simon.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by parameters with illegal XML characters.

If you have an example, why not try and see how the JMeter Proxy deals with it?
