--- Comment #6 from Felix Schumacher <felix.schumac...@internetallee.de> ---
For the second part (parameters which values start with @ landing in files
upload tab), I believe, JMeter is doing the correct thing here.

The curl man page states in the '--form' section: "...  To force the 'content'
part to be a file, prefix the file name with an @ sign. ..." 

If you want to send a value starting with an @ sign, you probably have to use
--form-string as parameter. The curl man page for '-form-string' says: "...
Similar to -F, --form except that the value string for the named parameter is
used literally. Leading '@' and '<' characters, and the ';type='  string  in
the  value  have no special meaning. ..."

Maybe postman tries the value in the parameter, before it decides, whether this
is a file or not. JMeter can't really decide this correctly, as the file has
not to be present on creation of the test plan. It has to be present when the
test plan is being run.

I am not sure, what to do about this, but it might be a good idea to discuss
this on the mailing list and/or put this into its own bug report, as it will
change the behaviour of detection.
