I see the same thing I saw on my test. When I tried your simplified test
with 2 requests to "https://www.google.com";... Here's my setup:
Test Plan
Cookie Manager
Thread Group
HTTP Request (https://www.google.com)
HTTP Request (https://www.google.com)
View Results Tree
The 2nd request's "Request Headers" look like this (no "Cookie:" header):
Connection: keep-alive
Host: www.google.com
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.13 (Java/1.8.0_333)
But the second request's "Request Body" looks like this:
GET https://www.google.com/
GET data:
Cookie Data:
1P_JAR=2022-07-16-13; AEC=<blah blah blah>
It is the "Cookie Data:" in the request body that is confusing me (and the
corresponding lack of a "Cookie:" request header). I was under the
impression that there needed to be a 'cookie:' header for the server to see
the cookie... If I switch the View Results Tree to show the HTTP view of
the request instead of the "Raw" view - it does show the cookie as a
request header. So is this just a goofy way the View Results Tree shows the
output, or is this a bug?
