Hi,

No the parameters get sent in a pre-defined format. For my test the server expects info in the body of the form:

{x,{y[value,value etc....

Thanx for the hints on the variables will give them a try tommorow.

Cheers

The HTTP Request POST command

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request

allows parameters to be sent as part of the request - does this not work?

There is a split() function that may be suitable:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__split

Or you could perhaps use BeanShell:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__BeanShell
This can create variables if required.

Or Javascript:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__javaScript

This can only return one string/variable, but you might be able to
write a function to extract the parts one at a time.
