How do I load variables into a HTTP request?
Good day!
I'm just starting to use Jmeter and so far it's been going well but I'm
having trouble or don't know exactly where to start with loading variables
into a HTTP POST.
Basically I need to send a different HEX value in my path with each new
request I send to my server.
Path: /procdac/settings.pr?x=3&cod=12&m=000011AA22BB
m= MAC Address, which should be random.
Or is there is a way to pull "m=$mac_var" from a text file with a list of
MAC addresses.
I tried specify a CVS file using CSV Data Set Config, but I'm not sure how I
can make a reference from my Path to that variable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi
For e.g.
If your CSV file has two fields
In the variable names field say you type mac_var,another_var
Then in your HTTP Sampler you can type ${mac_var} and at runtime the value
will get replaced.
This could be in the value field of the Sampler (name field would be m,
however your example is showing the parameter in the URL which is normally a
get)
If you can calculate this value at runtime say using java code , you can use
a preprocessor to populate the variables. The HTTP Sampler would remain the
same
