           Summary: Feature request: JMeter lacks general pre-processor
                    for POST-data
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Modifying POST-bodies before sending to the server can only be done in external
scripts like BeanShell. In particular, when you have a template-file that needs
values to be substituted (not in the "name=value" format), it becomes messy and
one needs to know the JMeter internals with respect to thread-synchronization. 

I would expect a pre-processor with regular expressions (and maybe XPath) to
enable substitutions in POST-data, local to the running thread. This would make
the learning step lower for non-BeanShell people like me, much more
user-friendly and less error-prone (thread-synchronization should be hidden by
JMeter instead of explicitly handled in an external script).

IMHO, I think JMeter needs a pre-processor with regex/XPath, analog to the
existing post-processors with regex/XPath.
