How does the browser do it? - it sends parameters with the request. The easiest way to do this is to use the JMeter proxy recorder. See: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf Otherwise, there are various browser add-ons or stand-alone applications that can show the HTTP traffic - see the JMeter Wiki. Or you can delve into the HTML and work out what it would send; see: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/ForAbsoluteBeginners This is aimed at users of the HttpClient library, but is very useful in understanding what is happening "under the hood" - e.g. how forms work. > Again, thanks again in advance for any advice or help. > > > JP > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Creating-a-customized-HTTP-Request-test-passing-in-parameters-tf4631033.html#a13223946 > Sent from the JMeter - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
