Setting GET or POST for each individual parameter ?
Hi,
In a page, I have both GET and POST parameters. Can jMeter set the
transfer method for each individual parameter ?
I know you can set all parameters as POST and append the GET parameters
to the URL, but is there another way?
I personnally like the way Badboy (http://www.badboy.com.au/) does
things. Each parameters is set to either be POST or GET. This helps
readability and increases flexibility in my opinion.
For example:
------
URL : http://www.example.com/page.aspx
GET: id = 12345
POST: firstName = John
POST: lastName = Doe
-----
Is there a reason why jMeter doesn't do it like that ?
Thanks a lot,
Dominic.

Hi Farid,
Thanks but my second paragraph was :
-----
I know you can set all parameters as POST and append the GET parameters
to the URL, but is there another way?
-----
I was looking more for a "why it's like that instead of a toggle for
each parameter"...

Hi,
You may use POST to post firstname and lastname
and URL = http://www.example.com/page.aspx?id=12345
Cheers,
Farid

I have to disagree with you there. It's fairly common. Take a contact
form for example. You can have the GET id=1234 to select the actual
contact to edit, but all input fields are passed back to the server as POST.

For a GET request, parameters can only be provided as part of the URL.
For a POST request, parameters are normally provided as part of the
request body - AFAIK it's not very common to mix them.
JMeter assumes that POST parameters will only be provided as part of
the request body, but of course you can add them to the Path field.
I suppose it would be possible to add another option to the Parameter
section of the GUI - feel free to open a Bugzilla enhancement request.
