>That's just given me an idea though - rather than try to maintain a cache, a cruder approach might be to provide a "Retrieve all embedded resources - first time only" option.
This should be simple to implement - and should provide most of what is needed?
When would you reset the idea of "first time"? I would want each thread to track this separately. Then I'd need to plan when it resets, so that a virtual user represents a brand new user to the site. Not sure what to recommend on that yet - probably on each iteration of the thread group. Or maybe add a control to explicitly say when to dump the cache.
The only thing I can think of that this wouldn't cover would be the sampled html pages themselves, so it would be a big help.
Mostly, the tool just needs to track which items have been downloaded already - it doesn't need to cache the contents, except that some listeners need to show them. I guess they're already caching things but not reusing them.
