See what I'm trynig to do is on a post request made collect the http headers and then add them to app.Request.Headers.Add().
In my application basically another post request overides certain post requests that I make.
On each request to my server there is a redirection to another server which adds some headers over my original post request
I need some way of saying maybe ok add these headers but then execute my post request with its headers after

i have a fairly simple testplan with following steps recorded
Thread Group
Recording Controller
HTTP Authorization manager
GET https://xxxx/user/login
GET https://xxxx/accounts/list
GET https://xxxx/user/settings
GET https://xxxx/partners/list
GET https://xxxx/user/logout
When i run this, i see jmeter adding the authorization header in the first user/login request and server responds with 200 OK. This is OK
i extract the session token from the login response and put it as a variable into the subsequent http requests.
jmeter is not adding the authorization header in the subsequent accounts/list request - this is OK
but then jmeter is adding the authorization header into the subsequent user/settings request - this is not needed as it defeats the purpose of sending the session token.
Again jmeter is not sending the auth token in partners/list but is sending it again in user/logout request.
So question is how jmeter determines when to add the auth header and when not?
The desired behaviour i want is for jmeter to send the auth header in the first user/login request but not in any of the subsequent http requests.
Any pointers appreciated.
thanks
HTTP Authorization Manager will add Authorization header to all the HTTP Request samplers it its scope, if you place it at the same level with the HTTP Request samplers - it will add the header to all of them.
If you need to apply the HTTP Authorization Manager to 1st sampler only - move it to be the child of the first sampler.

Recording any scenario adds up the Header Manager in all the Http requests.
You are doing it in correct way, however still you have to make few changes in your scripts to run seamlessly.
Delete all the subsequent Header Manager under the accounts/list,user/settings,partners/list & logout.
Post the Login Request > extract the session > Add a Header Manager after Login request and pass the session there.
All the further request should be in the same thread so that the session get passed to each request.
Also while recording there are multiple requests that gets captured and for each scenario Jmeter maintains the session under Header Manager, hence this should never be the case that one request is getting the session while others not.
Thanks for the answer that helps.
What i did and worked well in the mean time is add an explicit authorization header to the user/login request with a beanshell preprocessor to base64 encode the username / password.
thanks anyways
I use the next link in order to send chunking files with plupload.
I change the url parameter in order to send the request to my localhost:
url: "./upload.cfm", was changes to url: "localhost/upload"
As I see, the request is sent, but with request methods: OPTIONS.
Why it happens and how I can change it to POST?
Since you are now making a cross-origin HTTP request, you are triggering a preflight request in which the browser asks the destination server if your website is allowed to ask browsers to make POST requests to the destination server.
Either configure the destination server to respond to the OPTIONS request with a response granting permissions (after getting that response the browser will make the POST request), or continue to make requests with XHR only to the same origin.
I have a web server running on an EC2 node. There is an endpoint which accepts HTTP DELETE requests. It accepts the requests and proceeds with the intended functionality only if some certain headers are found in the DELETE request it send. What would be the easiest way to test this?
Check http://www.hurl.it/
Set the type the DELETE, and click Add Headers to add the headers you want.
I am trying to create an HTTP parser, and I am interested to know how can I retrieve the URL from HTTP response message text. Does every response contain the URL of the page? Do I need to look at some fields in the header for that or just look at the packet's body? Do I need to save information from previous packets (such as location message)?
Requests have URLs, responses are data packets sent back to the client. But if you make an HTTP request, the immediate response will come from the same URL.
How can we change content type in request header of http request for restful web services? From where do we exactly change it?
Add HTTP Header Manager and add your desired header there:
TL;DR To add Content type header you must have HTTP Header Manager associated to HTTP Request
You must add it for :
GET, DELETE, PUT and PATCH require a Content-Type.
Without overriding your request will be sent with defaults as:
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: [length of body]
Content-Type: text/plain
Host: [your host]
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.7 (Java/1.8.0_191)
Unlike using postman (advantage over JMeter), where you choose your content type in the same component,
In JMeter you must have HTTP Header Manager which can be added as
Child component of HTTP Request - effect only one request
Same or above HTTP Request's hierarchy - may/will impact other HTTP requests in scope
Notice you can have multiple Header Managers:
JMeter now supports multiple Header Managers. The header entries are merged to form the list for the sampler. If an entry to be merged matches an existing header name, it replaces the previous entry. This allows one to set up a default set of headers, and apply adjustments to particular samplers. Note that an empty value for a header does not remove an existing header, it just replace its value.
Notice you can't use it in multipart/form-data:
When using multipart/form-data, this suppresses the Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers; only the Content-Disposition header is sent.
It won't be sent it in redirected urls:
Headers are sent for the initial request, and won't be sent for the redirect. This is generally only a problem for manually created test plans, as a test plan created using a recorder would continue from the redirected URL.
Steps to add HTTP Headers
Create an HTTP Request
Thread Group -> HTTP Request
Right-click on the HTTP Request and add config element "HTTP Header
Manager"
HTTP Request -> Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cache Manager
Via JMeter UI you can add Request Header:
Thread group scope:
Thread group(right-click)-> Add-> Config Element -> HTTP Header Manager
Request scope (#Override Thread group scope):
request (right-click)-> Add-> Config Element -> HTTP Header Manager
