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

I'm trying to replicate a post request done normally by a website form via postman but the server returns 500 error.
the form website URL that I'm dealing with is here.
what I have done so far is investigate the network request using chrome or safari dev tools, copy the request as cURL, import the cURL in postman and do the request.
what can be the possible reasons for the failure and what are the alternative ways to achieve the same result?
Postman Headers:
Most probably you must have used invalid request body. The browser shows parsed json body and you might have copied incomple request body.
To get full body click view source and copy the full content.
I was trying to setup Jmeter for Salesforce API testing. However getting the below error during Salesforce authorization:
"error":"unsupported_grant_type","error_description":"grant type not
supported"
I am passing the parameters as in the screenshots attached. The same parameters when passed in Postman works fine, however I am getting this error in Jmeter. Please let me know if I am making some error in passing the parameters in Jmeter.
Jmeter_HTTP Header Manager
Jmeter_HTTP Request
Jmeter_Sampler Result
According to HTTP Status Code 400 documentation
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 400 Bad Request response status code indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
Looking into your request, you're sending Content-Type header as application/json therefore your server expects JSON and you're providing something different.
My expectation is that you should switch to Body Data tab of the HTTP Request sampler and set the request body to look like:
Check out REST API Testing - How to Do it Right article for more information on REST APIs testing using JMeter.
I struggle with the same issue but it finally worked for me by doing the following:
Use Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded in an HTTP Header Manager
Make sure is a POST Method and that you're using https
Not sure if it is necessary but in the Parameters tab make sure all (grant_type, password, client_secret_ client_id and username) are Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded and check the URL Encode option for all
Only check "Follow Redirects" and "Use KeepAlive" options in the HTTP Request
hope it works for you too
I am hitting my rest API in JMeter with 3 user ramp-up time is 5 second and in the HTTP header manager but in the response in View result tree I am getting error -
"errors":[{"id":"G_6143e7ac:15751914d3d:-7dff","level":"ERROR","type":"VALIDATION","message":"Invalid or incomplete PR4 header:\nRequired header Accept missing. \n"}]}
I am using headers as in the image, Please help me If anything is missing here.
The response clearly states that your request is missing Accept header.
It may also be worth moving HTTP Header Manager under HTTP Request sampler (as a child) to limit its scope only to parent just in case you need to send different headers for different requests. See Using JMeter's HTTP Header Manager article for details on manipulating request headers in JMeter tests
I am designing a RESTful API when I noticed something strange.
When I make a POST request for creating a new record, the form data is sent in request payload.
But when I make a PUT request to update a record, it appends form data in the URL, very similar to GET request.
Now a URL has certain length limit. So what would happen if PUT request has larger data than this limit.
Will the PUT request fail?
Is it unsafe to use PUT instead of POST to update a record having large form data?
EDIT:
I am using NodeJS server. I am using restangular(angular framework) to build my PUT request.
Use customPUT to send the form data in payload.
baseObj.customPUT(newObj).then(function(xyz){})
Have a look at these threads
Can HTTP PUT request have application/x-www-form-urlencoded as the Content-Type?
PHP multipart form data PUT request?
application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data?
Sounds like you can basically set a Content-type: multipart/form-data header and be golden. Basically comes down to configuration of the request with restangular and support thereof on the NodeJS server.
I'm working on a REST API using the FOSRestBundle and I'd like to be able to use the same URL for returning HTML and JSON depending on the request Accept header; i.e. if you call the URL directly from a browser (Accept : text/html etc) HTML is returned from a twig file, if you are making an AJAX request (Accept : application/JSON etc), JSON is returned using the FOSRestBundle.
Currently I can get this to work by throwing a small if statement at the top of each function to check the request accept header, if it's asking for HTML it returns the twig file, if it's asking for JSON it hits the service.
You should rather send "Accept" header with your requests. Read content negotiation (“Accept” HTTP header) based routing in symfony2.0 and Format listener.
The request scope does not exist when run in command line mode, I had to remove request from each constructor and the problem disappeared.
