Test Script Recorder (jmeter proxy) doesn't handle multipart
submission
Hi all,
My web app has a file upload function. When I use the Test Script Recorder to capture a file upload flow, the upload would error out. When I upload directly to my web app without the jmeter proxy, everything works. After some investigation, it is clear that the Test Script Recorder doesn't properly handle multi part submission.
Thanks,
James Liang

JMeter re-issues the requests created by the browser, so it needs all
the information that the browser has in order to do so.
Unfortunately some browsers don't provide the full path name for
files, only the file name.
So the file has to be located in the current directory for the upload to work.

After thinking this over, I don't understand why jmeter proxy need the upload file in the jmeter/bin folder at all.
I am trying to use the jmeter proxy to capture test script for a file upload scenario. The data flow is as follow:
1. from the browser, a user selects a local file to upload to the server
2. the browser reads in the file and constructs the http multipart submission requests
3. the browser sends the http multipart submission to the jmeter proxy
4. jmeter proxy records the http requests as http request samplers
5. jmeter proxy forwards the http requests to the server
Based on these steps, the jmeter proxy should not need to open the local file at all. The browser already did that and has already construct the http message that contains the file data.
When I tried using the browser upload a file outside of jmeter/bin, the file upload errors out immediately. When I put the file in jmeter/bin and then use the browser to upload, everything works. Furthermore, the jmeter was able to create the http request samplers. I've also verified the file indeed went over to the server.
What am I missing.
Thanks,

Sorry, the test script recorder does handle multipart submission properly. The problem was file path. I had to put the file in the jmeter/bin folder.
