JMeter : How to handle asynchronous http post request - rest

I'm trying to automate a POST call where I'm getting multiple responses every 5 seconds.
For example, while uploading a file,
file read......200 OK
Uploading Started.....200 OK
Uploaded......200 OK
And after certain time, when the process is complete on the server side, I get a response saying "Finished Successfully...200 OK".
But in JMeter, connection is closed when first 200 is received.
How can I wait for all the responses conditionally and exit when the desired response is received by the request?

You will have to use Java Request and develop a custom org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.sampler.JavaSamplerClient class.
You can use http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/ for the HTTP Client library, but ensure you use the same as JMeter.

Data Factory Web task - getting full output from a post

I am passing json data to a post request via a web task.
The body contains a number of records that are to be saved by the api.
The body returned contains a status per record sent, but within the webtask i cannot see the over all status of the post request.
In postman, the overall status shows up like below:
This status and response code (429 in this case) is not visible in the output of the webtask.
Is anyone aware if i can view this in the webtask, as its clearly visible via postman.
Thanks,
I don't believe there's any way to get this; some time ago the MS response was to create a fn app to capture it and call that from adf :)
However you can at least distinguish 2xx from 4xx by using the On Success and On Failure dependencies in the pipeline

How to mock HTTP Error response with Charles?

Is it possible to intercept the request going through Charles and immediately return 500 error code without sending this request to the server?
Can't find any information on this. All resources suggest to wait for the response and then change HTTP response code to 500.
I assume you have already tried adding a rewrite rule to make the request to be returned with the 500 status. Have you tried combining this with a map local, to an empty file on your disk, for instance? It may work.
If this doesn't work too, I think I would do a Map Remote to another path on my localhost (for instance: http://localhost:8081/exected-response-500) and make that URL to return the 500 status error (in my case I would use a basic Spring Boot app to achieve this).

POST from WinForms app using HttpWebRequest to webservice doesn't work when sent through Fiddler

I'm using HttpWebRequest in a VB.Net WinForms app to get data from an inhouse webservice. The code I'm using works for both GET and POST when run while Fiddler is not running. If I have Fiddler running the GETs work and are captured but a POST doesn't complete. In this case Fiddler captures the initial request but never gets the response and the application doesn't get a response.
The code builds a HttpWebRequest for the POST setting the appropriate properties, encodes the data to be sent into JSON and then does this.
Using postStream As Stream = webrequestobj.GetRequestStream()
postStream.Write(WebServiceByteData, 0, WebServiceByteData.Length)
End Using
I used WireShark to capture the generated network packets and noticed that when a POST is sent without going through Fiddler the following happens.
When "postStream As Stream = webrequestobj.GetRequestStream()" is executed a packet with all of the header info is sent that includes a "Expect: 100-continue" header but doesn't have the request data.
When the postStrean.Write call is executed an additional packet is sent that has the request data.
With Fiddler running nothing is put on the wire until after the postStream.Write is executed. At that point both the header packet with the "Expect: 100-continue" header and the request data packet are sent back to back before the service has responded with the "100 Continue". I'm guessing that this confuses the webservice as it doesn't expect to get the request data packet yet. It doesn't respond with the requested data.
I used Composer to manually create the request without the "Expect: 100-continue" header. When this is executed the same two packets are generated and the service responds with the expected data.
So, in order to be able to use Fiddler to capture the POST traffic it looks like I need to either be able to tell HttpWebRequest to not issue the "Expect: 100-continue" header (I've looked but haven't found a way to do this) or for Fiddler to handle the packets differently, maybe not sending the second packet until it sees the "100 Continue" response or by stripping out the "Expect: 100-continue" header.
It's possible that I've missed a setup option in Fiddler but nothing I've tried so far makes any difference.
Thanks,
Dave
Old question, but the short answer is that the lack of a 100/Continue response shouldn't have mattered at all.
To learn more about Expect: Continue, including how to remove this header if you like, see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fiddler/archive/2011/11/05/http-expect-continue-delays-transmitting-post-bodies-by-up-to-350-milliseconds.aspx

How send application/x-www-form-urlencoded params to a RestServer with JMeter?

I developed a rest server, and I put it to run in localhost, and I'm trying to perform tests with JMeter, sending requests posts and gets (depends of called method).
I already send to Rest server and got result with JMeter in simple post requests, get requests, sending files with post, and sending a Json with post.
But I don't know how to send a Form-UrlEncoded object to server. My Rest server consumes application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and I need to send 3 String parameters.
There's some way to set the MimeType for every parameter and perform the test ?
I'm using Jmeter 2.7
[Update]
I solved this by disabling the option:
use multipart/form-data for post
And enabling:
redirect automatically
Instead of:
follow redirect
The parameters I put normally in the table "Send parameters with the Request" with each respective names.
For sending form parameters as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, add a header parameter Content-Type with value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The following steps is aplicable for Jmeter 2.3.4
Add a HTTP Header Manager under your http Request.
Add new parameter to HTTP Header Manager with name Content-Type and value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Uncheck "Use multipart/form-data for HTTP POST" of HTTP request.
Uncheck "Encode?" of each request parameter(not necessary).
kept "Content Encode:" text box of HTTP request as empty.
This won't work for PUT request.
For put request add parameters as path parameter and set Content-Type header then Jmeter will do by itself.
Here's the solution for HTTP POST with x-www-form-urlencoded testing with jmeter. You just folllow like these.
Go to Thread Group -> Add listener -> Views Result in table, View result Tree. To see the process of responding.
Have you tried to save your test using BadBoy or JMeter Proxy to see what your application actually sends?
To see what happens under the hood you can also use FireBug if you're using FireFox or Ctrl+Shift+i if you're on Chrome.
IllegalCharsetNameException will go immediately only after you will add the required content-type in HTTP Header Manager for HTTP request .
Hope this helps.
followed exact steps mentioned i still see an exception thrown

500 read timeout Selenium : on opening website with large records

I am using Perl with Selenium. I have set $sel->set_timeout("86400000");.
When opening a website with large content, 500 read timeout message is displayed. Can someone please help me?
It seems to me that not the Selenium webdriver (the client) has issued the timeout, but the webserver has been waiting too long.
What do you want to accomplish? Maybe you can just make a HTTP HEAD request to check that your URL is valid? (A HEAD request does not give you any content back, just the HTTP header with the http status code and, optionally, the "Content-Length" header, among other fields. The HEAD request is much faster that a GET or POST request and yo won't have problems with timeouts. You might get more than one HEAD respnses e.g. if your request is redirected to another server.
Or do you want to check the large content itself. Then I cannot help you at this point. There is not enough information.
You can use a Test::WWW::Mechanize object to create the HEAD request (it is a subclass of LWP::Request). NOt sure if selenium supports head requests.
