The HTTPSampler probably can only use the types that form can use are application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data . So I dont think what you want is currently supported
The mime type against the file parameter , should be the mime-type of the file - text/xml or whatever not of the entire request , can you try with that and multipart/form-data , i find it surprising that your receiving application mandates multipart/mixed. You can either use a different tool like SOAP UI which should have better support or you can code this as a java class and invoke it with a Java Sampler in jmeter if you dont feel like diving into Jmeter code. regards deeoak On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Renaud, Martin <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi All, > > > > I'm trying to use JMeter 2.3.4 to send a request to a REST application > without success. > > > > I'm using the HTTP Request Sampler.
