It turns out this (specifying a filename for "Send a File With the Request", using the r543291 build) works fine for POST and PUT, but is ignored for DELETE. If I'm reading things right, there's simply no allowance made for this in HTTPSampler2.java, which seems to be a bug.
Yes - I added the new methods en masse so there are probably other bugs...
(Not so much the lack of support, though of course I'd prefer to have it, but the lack of any UI indication that the filename is only used for a subset of the available HTTP methods.) Is it appropriate to file bugs against the nightly builds for stuff like this?
Yes, just specify which build(s) are relevant. In this case I think it also applies to 2.2 as DELETE was added there.
For a more generalized answer to this, while I'd still love to be able to give the "SOAP/XML-RPC Request" sampler a method specifier, it seems like it and the base HTTP samplers are covering a lot of the same ground, and perhaps what's really called for is an overhaul of the UI to consolidate the functionality; the ideas in bugzilla #41917 look like a good direction for this.
Yes, I do think the HTTP UI needs to be tidied. However, there are some reasons against merging the UIs: - compatibility with existing test plans - task-specific UIs are generally easier to use. - documentation changes ;-) These can be addressed, but it would be easier initially to enhance SOAP/XML separately (and I don't think this would make the merge task any more difficult). Feel free to add an enhancement request for it. I can probably add that fairly quickly.
