Hi, I just use badboy to record all the path, and export to Jmeter,and I think it save you a lot time. You can download badboy at www.badboy.com.au

I'm trying to use JMeter to load test our in-house Webmail setup. I've gotten as far as a simple test which just hits the server's greeting page, N times through X threads. That's helpful, but now I'd like to run tests that look more like actual user sessions. I didn't set up our webmail system and don't know much about its guts, so I thought I'd start by recording a session through JMeter's HTTP proxy. I added a proxy to my currently running JMeter instance, listening on port 8080. Then, reconfigured my Firefox to use a proxy on localhost, port 8080, for all requests. I can browse to google just fine. Trying to browse to our webmail server produces a popup window with the error message: "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked." Um, okay, but meanwhile I don't find any evidence that the JMeter proxy is recording any of this stuff. My current test plan is called "hammer on webmail". It has a "Recording Controller" object under it, which is reflected in the Proxy's settings: I can set the proxy's "Target Controller" to "hammer on webmail > Recording Controller" in the pull-down menu. I've tried other settings as well, but I don't see any data showing up wherever I look. Under the recording controller, I've added a few other elements, just to see what they'd do. Right now it has an "Assertion Results" listener, a "Simple Data Writer" (configured to write to a file in /tmp, which has yet to appear), an "HTTP Request" sampler, an "HTTP Authorization Manager", and an "HTTP Cookie Manager". Clicking around in all of those, I don't see anything that looks like captured data. Don't know if I should or not, because the docs I've been able to find don't describe what I should see from the proxy server or where I should find it. Obviously at this point I'm just thrashing, and it's getting me nowhere. I've tried to RTFM but I don't seem to be looking in the right place(s). Little help?
