Hi,
 
I am new to the world of Jmeter. 
Kinda trying to get started using a simple web test plan(Taken from
getting started guide).
This test connects to jakarta.apache.org (over http) Pl see attached
test plan.
and when I run this test plan I get to see 100 % errors. I get to see
following things in the log.
HTTP response code: Non HTTP response code
HTTP response message: Non HTTP response message
 
I see following things in response data
