RE: TPN POSSIBLE SPAM:RE: problem with XML-RPC request using JMeter

[Alex Turner <Al...@Project-Network.com>]

It is because your transfer encoding is chunked, that is the chunk length.

Either you'll have to get JMeter to accept the chunked encoding (not sure why it is not automatically) or turn off chunked encoding.

Technically speaking, the XML-RPC standard says that the message headers should have the message length, and XML-RPC does not say anything about chunking.  So - I guess that it is reasonable that the sampler will not work with chunking.

This is a shame - as I also (naughty - slap hands) send xml-rpc over http 1.1 chunked transfer.

Any body out there to help me?

Why am I getting the garbage "16f" after the http header and before the
xml request?

Please clarify.

Thanks,
Arul

Subject: problem with XML-RPC request using JMeter

Hello everybody,



I am trying to load test a XML-RPC service using JMeter. I used the
SOAP/XML-RPC Request sampler for sending the RPC requests. The sample
request is shown below.



<?xml version="1.0"?>

<methodCall>

<methodName>myMethod</methodName>

<params>

<param>

<value>12</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>sdfd</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>213213</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>91</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>df</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>0</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>123</value></param>

</params>

</methodCall>



I get the following error in the server side: Fatal error parsing XML:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: expected Element

org.apache.xmlrpc.ParseFailed: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: expected
Element



When I tried intercepting JMeter requests to my server using tcpmon, I see
the following RPC request.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
---

POST / HTTP/1.1



Connection: close



User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0.1



Transfer-Encoding: chunked



Content-Type: text/xml



Host: 127.0.0.1:9999



16f



<?xml version="1.0"?>

<methodCall>

<methodName>myMethod</methodName>

<params>

<param>

<value>12</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>sdfd</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>213213</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>91</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>df</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>0</value>

</param>

<param>

<value>123</value></param>

</params>

</methodCall>



0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --

I could see some garbage (highlighted) before and after the request. If I
remove this garbage in tcpmon and resend, the RPC call works fine.



Why is this behavior? Am I missing something? Or JMeter is sending wrong
requests. Please clarify.



Thanks,

Arul
