...Normally a single thread represents a single user, so this would mean first time for each thread (user) in a Thread Group within a test run. This fits in with the way the Cookie Manager works.
It might be a lot harder to implement a reset control, and I'm not sure what it would correspond to in terms of a test.
I'm trying to learn what represents a distinct virtual user and a single session on a site. From what you said in the first paragraph, it looks like a thread represents a user, and represents the same user on repeated loops in the thread group.
A reset would facilitate reusing a thread to act as a brand new user, but now I'm thinking that that goes against the design of the tool.
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.
Not sure I understand the last sentence - who is they?
The listeners that record the content sent back from each request.
A proper cache ought to take note of the relevant Header lines and expiry dates etc.
Yeah, I shouldn't assume that caching is simple. -- Danny R. Faught Tejas Software Consulting http://tejasconsulting.com/
