i'm trying to extract from response headers an x-authorization-token to a variable and pass to another http request, i'm new using jmeter.
Following online tutos, i have created an regular expression extractor do define a regular expression x-authorization-token:\s+(.+)
i want to pass x-authorization-token: foo/bar to another request
Regular Expression Extractor conf
Response headers example:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
Server-Timing: intid;desc=foo/bar
x-transaction-id: 34297420-432942-foo-bar
x-authorization-token: foo/bar
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 22:54:24 GMT
X-Kong-Upstream-Latency: 2130
X-Kong-Proxy-Latency: 20
Via: kong/1.00
Just add a HTTP Header Manager as a child of the "another http request" and configure it as follows:
HTTP Header Manager allows defining arbitrary HTTP Headers so you can pass your x-authorization-token (as well as other headers if needed) to any request in the HTTP Header Manager's scope

I have an HTTP Request sampler in JMeter which sends a login request.
I have to obtain the access_token from the response of this HTTP request which has to be sent along with the request header of the 2nd HTTP request Sampler.
The response data of login request is something like this:
{"status":true,"access_token":"91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.Arvdm_M68-BoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM"}
Regular Expression Extractor
Reference Name: access_token
Regular expression: access_token":"(.*?)"
Template $1$
MatchNo:1
When I am checking this regular expression using View Results Tree->RegExp Test, I am obtaining a result like this:
Match count: 1
Match[1][0]=
access_token":"91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.Arvdm_M68-BoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM"
Match[1][1]=
91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.Arvdm_M68-BoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM
What I need is to obtain Match[1][1]. ie just the access_token value.
Referring the value of the expression in my HTTP Header Manager of the 2nd HTTP request Sampler:
Name: Authorization
Value : Bearer ${access_token}
Now when I am running my JMeter test and observe the View Results Tree, I can see that the response of the second request is
Global Authentication Failed
and the Request Headers:
Connection: keep-alive
problem is in the following line: I have to get the access_token value (91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.91kLM68tdMBoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM.Arvdm_M68-BoDFRURArvdmwYgWV9Nr2sHYDwivTM) instead of ${access_token}:
Authorization: Bearer ${access_token}
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 21
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.3 (Java/1.8.0_111)
If instead of giving the reference token I am hard-coding the token in HTTP Header Manager then the response is successful.
Note: I have already checked [How to get Response Data and parse it to HTTP Header Manager in JMeter
How can I solve this issue?
Most likely your Regular Expression Extractor fails due to extra space or line break or whatever.
Be aware that since Apache JMeter 3.0 you have JSON Extractor which is designed for getting data from JSON response types using Json Path language. The relevant JSON Extractor configuration would be as simple as:
See API Testing With JMeter and the JSON Extractor article for more information on.
Apart from this, the remaining elements configuration in your Test Plan looks fine.
I have a question for using Apach JMeter.
Our project, Android apps post json data with "Gzip Compression" to API server.
The Android apps using "Apache HttpClient" and it's "GzipCompressingEntity" class.
For performance testing of API server, I tryed to recording the request by JMeter's Proxy (="HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder").
But the recorded request body was empty.
What I want to do is to send "Gziped HTTP request data" from Apache JMeter to server.
Is there any way for that?
Following is sample of our Android app's request header.
POST /api/test HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Encoding: gzip
Host: 192.168.11.11:8080
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.5)
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
RequestBody is Gziped binary data.
What I had done is
Run the "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder(Proxy Server)" on JMeter.
Set http proxy of Android to use that proxy server.
Execute Android test code of HTTP Client (the post data is compressed by Gzip).
then, that test code finished with failure. (no response from server)
If access directly (without JMeter's Proxy Server), that test succeeded.
Can I send the compressed request data from JMeter just like this?
Add HTTP Header Manager to your test plan and add at least the following headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Encoding: gzip
Add Beanshell PreProcessor as a child of the request which you need to encode and add the following code to it's "Script" area:
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;
String bodyString = sampler.getArguments().getArgument(0).getValue();
byte [] requestBody = bodyString.getBytes();
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(requestBody.length);
GZIPOutputStream gzip = new GZIPOutputStream(out);
gzip.write(requestBody);
gzip.close();
sampler.getArguments().getArgument(0).setValue(out.toString(0));
It will get your request body, compress it and substitute on the fly so the request will be gzipped.
Encoding is wrong, you need to save it in body like this
sampler.getArguments().getArgument(0).setValue(new String(compressedBody, 0));
I'm new to jMeter testing. I want to test the field update on UI. So When I run my test I'm getting the CSRF validation error. How can I resolve this. My test plan looks as,

Why do we get CSRF validation error and how to resolve it.
CSRF stands for Cross-site request forgery and you're getting CSRF Validation error due to missing mandatory dynamic request parameter, usually a Cookie or a Header.
I would suggest executing your scenario in i.e. Firefox Browser with HttpFox or FireBug extension enabled and inspect request details. CSRF token usually comes as a cookie in server's response and needs to be passed as a header or request parameter. So it is similar to usual correlation. So the flow should look as follows:
First HTTP Request: open first page
Extract CSRF token from response via one of the following Post Processors
Regular Expression Extractor
XPath Extractor
CSS/JQuery Extractor
Second HTTP Request: open second page (CSRF-protected). Add the token, extracted in step 2 to one of the following:
HTTP Request Parameter
HTTP Header Manager
HTTP Cookie Manager
Depending on where your server expects the token to live.
For the future, looking at your "localhost" server name - don't run JMeter performance tests on the same machine where application lives.
All,
Every HTTP Request I make to my test REST Service is sent with the method set to GET. Tomcat rejects with a 405 - Unsupported Method. Doesn't matter what I change it to (POST, PUT, etc) Jmeter always sends a GET.
I set up the simplest possible test case by creating a Threadgroup with an HTTP Request Sampler and a View Results Tree. I send a JSON body to the REST Services which just echos back the request along with an ID. Works great with Google's REST Client UI.
Here is the result from the View Results Tree:
Response code: 405
Response message: Method Not Allowed
Response headers:
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Allow: POST
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Content-Language: en
Content-Length: 1045
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 21:39:27 GMT
Here is the RequestMapping from my REST Service
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = "application/json", produces = "application/json")
Here are some screenshots from my results. I wonder why there are two URI's below the HTTP Request in the tree? Notice the POST request looks correct.
Since the right answer is not provided yet: It's the "Follow Redirects" Option that causes this behavoir under certain circumstances.
see http://www.sqaforums.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=687068&Main=675937
Try to end the 'Path' value of HTTP Request with '/'. It has to remove the GET result in View Results Tree.
I had the same problem. I tried everything also I read this question and all answers before find the thing that worked for me.
Content-Type should be application/json. It can not be text/html.
Set that in HTTP Header Manager. I assume you have set authentication details correctly.
We need to have three things properly set.
Content type which will be application/json
set the endpoint correctly in the path ,which you can see in soup ui
Check the port number on which the api wil get run on [All this u can first check on soupui and then try running the same in jmeter
I am building a RESTful API. When the client uses an unsupported method such as POST on a resource that does not supports it, I am returning a 405 with the Allow header which lists the allowed methods:
Status Code: 405 Method Not Allowed
Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
Connection: keep-alive
Date: Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:19:26 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Is it allowed to have a body (to provide an error message) for 405 responses?
From the w3c's site, it is not apparent whether a body is allowed for 405 responses.
The HTTP/1.1 protocol spec states in the "message length" section:
Any response message which "MUST NOT" include a message-body (the 1xx, 204, and 304 responses and any response to a HEAD request) is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields, regardless of the entity-header fields present in the message.
A message body is optional for all 4xx-5xx codes as long as the HTTP method is not HEAD.
