[PATCH] discard response in HTTP Sampler

[Pratik Soares <pr...@gmail.com>]

I used JMeter to perform some load testing in my previous project and
for one of the request the response ran into a few 100 MBs and
eventually JMeter would run out of memory and die.

Since I did not want to do any post processing on the response, so
long as the server in questions was stressed, to complete the project
I had to modify the JMeter source to ignore the response and free up
memory. I wish there was a standard ignore response option in the HTTP
Sampler.

I was wondering if this option would be useful to other and could be
included in the JMeter main. Whom should I talk to, to discuss the
patch and possibly get it included in JMeter?

There's already an option to just store the MD5 of the response.

Not sure it's necessary to have another alternative, but feel free to
raise a Bugzilla enhancement request and attach a patch.
