Philippe, thanks for your comments and vote. I'm looking forward to hearing the reproducer from you.
Milabmer, do you think 5.6 can be released then? Just in case, I would remind everybody that "Releases may not be vetoed" (see https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes) >This issue was always there due to missing timeout on HTTP Sampler no ? Timeouts are not related. Imagine a user starts a test in GUI mode. Imagine the scenario sends a HTTP request. Then the system under test stalls, and the HTTP request just waits "forever". The user realizes it needs to fix the system (or the script), and the user clicks "stop test". I would say, the test must stop no matter what are the timeouts. If the user clicks "stop test", it should stop. Otherwise the only option is to kill JMeter application and restart it again, which is not usable. Vladimir
