Url Encoded Variables
Hi folks,
yesterday I tried putting together a load test against Alfresco
by simply recording a session.
Alfresco uses a special Header for CSRF protection. Its value
by comes from a Cookie of the same name. We tried inserting that
value into the header, first by simply using
<Header.value>${CSRFToken}</..>
Then via ${COOKIE_Alfresco-CSRFToken}, and finally via
${__urldecode(${COOKIE_Alfresco-CSRFToken})}
neither of those gave us the desired result. If we used a Variable
the value would always be URL-encoded. If we didn't use a variable
then alfresco would complain that we're trying to forge a request,
because the token was already used.
Any advise and how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Why are you configuring the XML?
JMeter uses a GUI to create the test plans, and may need to set
several related items.

What is the value of the variable?
Use the Debug Sampler.
Is the variable value encoded?
How are you deriving the variable?

Header.value This was mostly pseudo-code to simplify what it would be
in the resulting XML to configure it. (Mostly because I didn't have the actual
code in front of me while writing this)

expected result:
A Header that contains:
Alfresco-CSRFToken: OGMxNTBkM2NjNjVmMmU0YzgyYzd/kOTIwNWQ1MDQzYmY0MTk0ZDE4YiAgLQo=
Actual result:
A Header that contains the URL encoded value from above:
Alfresco-CSRFToken: OGMxNTBkM2NjNjVmMmU0YzgyYzd%2fkOTIwNWQ1MDQzYmY0MTk0ZDE4YiAgLQo%3d

The variable reference won't work unless you use a Regex PostProcessor
to extract the cookie yourself.
I've no idea what you mean by <Header.value>.
> Then via ${COOKIE_Alfresco-CSRFToken}, and finally via
That won't work unless you define the JMeter property
CookieManager.save.cookies=true

It's not clear to me what you are expecting and what you are actually getting.
