Proxy Server Recorder...Capturing POST pages...

Hi all,

I'm using the HTTP Proxy Server element to capture and record a series
of web requests.  I setup the Proxy Server and a Recording Controller
without any issues.  I can get the HTTP requests to be recorded by the
Proxy Server (and the Recording Controller) except for pages that are
POST requests.

In the following recording session, I stepped thru a couple of Mantis
PHP pages while I had both the JMeter Proxy Server on as well as "tail
-f" of the Apache web server.  What's missing is the POST to the
set_project.php page on the JMeter Recording Controller.


Jmeter (Facsimile of the GUI screen)
-------------------------------------------------
+ -- WorkBench 
    |
    - -- HTTP Proxy Server 
    | 
    + -- Recording Controller
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/login_page.php 
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/login_cookie_test.php 
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/main_page.php 
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/main_page.php 
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/logout_page.php 
        | 
        + -- /mantis-dev/login_page.php 

Apache (NOTE: I removed the timestamps for space)
-------------------------------------------------

3589
</snip>

Why doesn't JMeter record the POST to login.php or set_project.php?  Can
JMeter be configured to capture these?  I couldn't find anything in the
docs or on Nabble...

thx in advance,

Re: Proxy Server Recorder...Capturing POST pages...

Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
Seems like a bug.

Were there any errors reported in jmeter.log? Perhaps there was a
problem creating the sampler for the POST request.
