Thanks for the reply Sebb. The POST to GridDataHandler.ashx is the last file called before the page is populated with the links I need to click. I used a Firefox app called Tamper Data which allowed me to see the file called prior to the links being displayed.
Fo example I navigate to ../Questions/QuestionSets.aspx Stylesheet and images load. A javascript "loading" is displayed. jQuery jGrid then loads which Tamper data shows the last file called is GridDataHandler.ashx. If I deny this POST the grid and links dont load. If I allow the POST I can hover over visible links which will navigate to say ../Questions/EditQuestionSet.aspx?QuestionSetId=36 The variable _nd=1226990109047 is nowhere to be found. I tried recording the whole process with Jmeter Proxy and Tamper data then searching for _nd and 1226990109047, neither of these appear. So Im going with your assumption that its a random number. I've now created a GridDataHandler.ashx POST with POSTDATA and I receive a response though the RESPONSE Content-Type=application/json; charset=utf-16 UTF-16 is making the response unreadable via Results tree listener and I assume the Regex Extractor would also fail. Any ideas on working with a UTF-16 response?
