Summary: Recording using proxy fails with semicolon separated
parameters
Product: JMeter
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: HTTP
AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: m...@pluton.nl
NOTE: I am using 2.3.4 r785646 (
https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&rev=785646 ) (not available in the
Version list)
Recording a website that uses semicolons (';') to separate parameter values
fails.
The firstline in the unproxied request is:
GET
/home/initial-pages/initial-pages/support?func=add;class=WebGUI::Asset::Post::Thread
HTTP/1.1
The proxied version:
GET
/home/initial-pages/initial-pages/support?func=add%3Bclass%3DWebGUI%3A%3AAsset%3A%3APost%3A%3AThread
HTTP/1.1
Note how the semicolon, equals (and colon [1]) are encoded. This causes the
recorded application to fail.
The original URL is perfectly valid according to RFC 3986 section 3.3 (near the
end) http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3
Part of the problem is that
org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase incorrectly assumes
that ampersand ('&') is the only valid parameter separator (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 )
I am able to reproduce this problem with both Firefox (3.5) and IE (8).
I used a WebGUI WRE with a default demo-domain for reproduction. Steps:
0) Setup JMeter and browser with proxy for recording
1) Login as admin (only user on a demo)
2) Go to Initial Pages
3) Select a forum (eg Support)
4) Click Add
Expected: Server returns page to add a message
Actual Result: Server returned the forum-list (due to failing to interpret the
query string sent by the proxy)
The WebGUI WRE is available at http://www.webgui.org/download (Download WRE
Binaries) with install instructions at
http://www.webgui.org/community-wiki/wre-installation. Following those
instructions should be enough to get the same demo-domain I used for
reproducing this.
1) Note that encoding the colon is not necessary in a query-part according to
the definition in RFC 3986
