A BAD REQUEST error occurs in the SSL environment - https

400 Bad Request occurs when a dot is taken in a text area in an https environment and a line-switched value is transmitted to the server.
How do we solve this?

Getting error 500 in response code in jmeter

I have recorded a login transaction using Firefox. Now when i run via Jmeter I get Response code:500 and Response message:Internal Server Error. The same works fine when run manually.
I have done the correlation. Dunno where and what to check more?
Attaching the screen shot of the error.

As per 500 Internal Server Error description:
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 500 Internal Server Error server error response code indicates that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
This error response is a generic "catch-all" response. Usually, this indicates the server cannot find a better 5xx error code to response. Sometimes, server administrators log error responses like the 500 status code with more details about the request to prevent the error from happening again in the future.
So if you want the reason - you need to check your server logs.
Additionally you might want to check whether your correlation really works, i.e. double check JMeter Variables originating from correlation using Debug Sampler and ensure that they're extracted fully and correctly. In certain cases you need to perform encoding or decoding of the extracted variable

Response code: 503 Response message: Service Unavailable

I have given two url in csv file and trying to load that in jmeter. I am getting 503 response code.
As per HTTP 503 status code description
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 503 Service Unavailable server error response code indicates that the server is not ready to handle the request.
Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded. This response should be used for temporary conditions and the Retry-After HTTP header should, if possible, contain the estimated time for the recovery of the service.
Note: together with this response, a user-friendly page explaining the problem should be sent.
Caching-related headers that are sent along with this response should be taken care of, as a 503 status is often a temporary condition and responses shouldn't usually be cached.
So I can think of at least 3 possible issues:
Your server is really overloaded, you can try checking Response Data tab of the View Results Tree listener - if you're lucky - you will the the aforementioned "user-friendly page explaining the problem"
Your request is malformed and server is sending 503 response instead of 4xx which indicates client-side error. Double check what URL(s) you're trying to open by looking into Request tab of the View Results Tree listener and try to open it in the browser. If you're building the URL from parts (i.e. host, port, protocol, query string, etc.) - you might want to check if the values are correctly read from the CSV file using Debug Sampler
I fail to see HTTP Header Manager in your Test Plan, some servers check the client Headers, for example User-Agent or Accept and may report an error if the required header is missing (i.e. indicating that the browser is not supported)

HTTP status code for a resource infected by virus

I'm developing an application which acts as an Http-Proxy for serving files from an external resource. It actually downloads the file from the external resource, checks for viruses and if the file is not infected, returns the file to the client.
My problem is, in case of the file is infected, what HTTP Status code my service should return? I suppose that any type of 4xx error codes is not appropriate for that situation because this class of code is intended for Client errors.
Is a 502 (Bad Gateway) error more appropriate?
Is there any kind of Standard that covers this situation?
I think you are right maestromarko : 502 Bad Gateway. Read the specifications here:
The 502 (Bad Gateway) status code indicates that the server, while
acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an
inbound server it accessed while attempting to fulfill the request.
Your proxy is acting as a Gateway and he received what it conciders is invalid as there are virus in it.
It is not a 4xx class error, because whatever the client changes in the request, the result will still be an error.

Http response codes are only meant to handle http specific conditions so I don't think there is a correct answer as such. But some possibilities...
204 - "The server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content"
403 - "The request was valid, but the server is refusing action"

JMeter error : java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

I have read and tried the solutions shared in the previous posts for this error but nothing helped me to fix this. Kindly help.
I am making a HTTPS API call. A very simple call which accepts a 2 KB JSON message via POST method and sends a one word acknowledgement. It works perfectly fine in Postman tool. In JMeter, no. of threads (users) is kept as 25. It works perfectly fine one time with all 25 success response and at times getting few failure response as
Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.SocketException
Response message: Non HTTP response message: Unexpected end of file from server
No consistency at all. I have also tried with both enabling and disabling "use keepalive" checkbox. Both giving me all success one time ; few/all failure at another time with the above error. Please help. Thank you.
Below are the JMeter settings:
HTTP Header Manager : Content-Type - application/json
HTTPRequest sampler : protocol - HTTPS
Server Name or IP : project server name
Method : POST
PATH : The required path with https authentication details passed as parameters
IMPLEMENTATION : Set to JAVA (HTTPCLIENT4 was giving me “443 failed to respond” error)
Add header
Connection Keep-Alive
Both errors (Java implementation and Apache HTTPClient4 implementation), are essentially saying the same thing: The server closed the connection, without providing any response. I think there could be the following reasons:
Authentication problem. If server side checks authentication before processing a request (e.g. using Spring), it may be rejecting your request, it may be not bothering with any response if authentication is not considered correct.
Request Issue. Some less noticeable properties of the request you send via Jmeter are different from what you send in Postman. It could be some minor thing with formatting, or some headers server expects. Some of such inconsistencies can also cause Load Balancer (if you use one) to reject request before it's delivered to the server.
Certificate issues. Since you are using HTTPS, you need to make sure your certificate is setup correctly on JMeter side.
So I suggest:
Review server logs and see if your request makes it to the server. If yes, you might be able to see how it was rejected. If not, you need to trace back and see who rejected it (LB, authentication, etc)
Compare headers and body sent by JMeter vs Postman line to line (use TCPDump for example to obtain it).

Creating gist failed: 403 Forbidden

This is the error message I am receiving when trying to create a new gist.
Creating gist failed: 403 Forbidden
I have set up GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_PASSWORD as suggested and have tried setting up the environment variable HTTP_PROXY but then I receive this error:
System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/generic.rb:195:in initialize': the scheme http does not accept registry part: host:port (or bad hostname?) (URI::InvalidURIError)

Can't seem to find any support to do with either error!
There might be many reasons to get 403 response from Github, in both existed tools or your own code, for example:
User-Agent is not set in the API requests (http://developer.github.com/changes/2013-04-24-user-agent-required)
You (code or tool) exceed API requests limits (not sure it's your case however as usually limits are high enough)
