I download JMeter 5.2 and tried the Tools -> Import from cUrl
I tried with different URLs e.g. curl https://www.keycdn.com
But there's a checkbox Add cookie header to Cookie Manager which I don't understand
If it checked or not, the results are the same ( only order of components are flipped)
What is the use case for checkbox? is it relevant? example:
This is more than relevant given your request contains Cookie header and you're sending only User-Agent.

I have recorded using jmeter and enhanced the script but facing a redirected response as below:
Object moved
Object moved to here.
I tried using Cookie manager and also correlated viewstate and viewgenerator still facing a object moved error
Try playing with "Redirect automatically" and/or "Follow redirects" checkboxes in the HTTP Request sampler
the idea is to make JMeter to behave exactly like a real browser so cross-check the requests JMeter is making with the requests from the "Network" tab of your browser developer tools
As the last resort you should be able to extract the redirection URL from the Location header using Regular Expression Extractor and configure the next HTTP Request sampler to hit this URL.
I am using apache jmeter 5.2.1 with Java 8 to perform the performance test in a JSF application.
I need to send in the header of an HTTP request a parameter called "Cookie" according to the example below:
I've tried several things but none work.
I have already used the HttpHeaderManager resource but apparently the word "Cookie" is a JMeter reserved word so I can't create a parameter in the Header with the name "Cookie".
If I create a parameter in HttpHeaderManager with any name it is appended to the request header, but if I create with the name "Cookie" which is the name I need to use JMeter simply ignore it and do not add it to the request header .
I saw many posts indicating that I used the following code snippet:
CookieManager manager = sampler.getCookieManager();
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("JSESSIONID",vars.get("jSessionId"),"${serveraddress}",false,0);
manager.add(cookie);
I've tested it but it doesn't work either, it returns the following error whenever I try to use it:
I also have an Http Cookie Manager but its value is sent in the request body and not in the header.
I also tried to use the Http Autorization Manager as I saw in some posts but it only works when the login is done at a prompt in the browser.
Can someone help me?
Just add a HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan and it will automatically "manage" cookies for you (the HTTP Request samplers must be in the HTTP Cookie Manager's scope)
You can double check that JMeter sends correct Cookie header using a 3rd-party sniffer tool like Wireshark or Fiddler
If you added the HTTP Cookie Manager but JMeter still doesn't send the JSESSIONID cookie it might be the case there is a problem with the cookie itself, i.e. it doesn't match domain/path or expired or your HTTP Request sampler configuration is not correct.
If you absolutely sure that your application behaves as expected you can configure JMeter to be less restrictive by:
Choosing a more "relaxed" cookie policy, i.e. netscape
Adding the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
You can also add the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
this way you will get comprehensive information of the Cookie Manager's behaviour in the jmeter.log file
More information: HTTP Cookie Manager Advanced Usage - A Guide
I am new to jmeter. I have setup up HTTP Request sampler to send GET request to google.com. The response I get is 200. But I could not find the response header where it shows the cookies in the response. I want to use that cookie value for my next request.
You need to look into View Results Tree listener, Set-Cookie header will present in "Sampler Result" tab:
HTTP Cookie Manager should handle cookies automatically. Just in case if you need cookies to be store as JMeter Variables you can set the following property:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
which can be done in 2 ways:
Pass it to JMeter startup script via -J command line argument as:
jmeter -JCookieManager.save.cookies=true
Add aforementioned CookieManager.save.cookies=true line to user.properties file (located in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation) to make the change permanent. Remember, JMeter restart is required to pick the property up.
This way you will be able to access i.e. NID cookie value as ${COOKIE_NID} where required
See Using the HTTP Cookie Manager in JMeter guide for more information on using HTTP Cookie manager
To handle the cookies automatically, Add HTTP Cookie Manager to the test plan by navigating to Test plan -> Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cookie Manager.
And don’t test the applications which you don't own or have permission to test.
I am trying to imply the basic authentication process for a web service using JMeter. But everytime it throws out an error 401:Unauthorized. I tried using the HTTP Header manager to add a header Authorization and value to it. Still it does not work. I have also tried using the HTTP Authorization manager. Still no luck. Can someone help.
I've found through debugging requests coming in from JMeter that the HTTP Authorization Manager module doesn't encode the username and password correctly. It puts a newline character after the username.
To run a JMeter test against a Basic Auth protected endpoint, include the HTTP Header Manager and add the Basic Auth header yourself:
Manually Encoding Credentials
From MacOS or Linux:
echo -n "username:password" | base64
From Windows:
Go here and encode your "username:password" string
Adding the Authorization Header
In the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]"
Edit 19 august 2017 for JMeter 3.2:
Use answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/12563623/460802
Basically to bypass a Basic Authorization you need to add the Authorization header with the value Basic base64(username:password). The problem is that JMeter has no base64 function embedded.
The solution is :
Step1 Add BeanShell PreProcessor (PreProcessor --> BeanShell Preprocessor)
Step2 Add the following script to the PreProcessor
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64("neo4j:1234".getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));
Step3 Add HTTP Header Manager
Step4 Add Authorization header with correct value
header name Authorization
header value Basic ${base64HeaderValue} (base64HeaderValue variable is initialized by the BeanShell Preprocessor)
So in the end when you create a http request Authorization header will be passed to the server with base64 encoded string
Do the following:
1/ Configure HTTP Authorization Manager correctly with all required fields
2/
Option 1 : Using HTTP 4 : (default)
it is possible since JMeter 3.2 without any further configuration using Authorization Manager
Option 2 : Using HTTP 3.1 : (deprecated)
in jmeter.properties , uncomment:
httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters
in httpclient.parameters, uncomment:
http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true
If you're looking to learn JMeter, this book by 3 developers of the project will help you
Make sure to provide a protocol for the base URL, i.e.: "http://localhost" instead of "localhost"
Like Ryan T said, in the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]" but without [].
If you get Response code as 401, then add "HTTP Authorization manager" Config Element
I am using Jmeter 3.3
GO to Jmeter on User choose add then HTTP Authorization Manager
Then add ur url , userid,password
If response type is json then add HTTP Header manager
You can easily use JSON Extractor for authentication inside the auth request to store the token in a variable, then you will just need to use it whenever the token is needed, in order to use that you will need an HTTP header manager using that variable you can follow the screenshots for clear instructions.
JSON Extractor configuration:
HTTP header manager configuration:
In reference to the first answer above, the incorrect encoding problem you mention must be now fixed, as Apache 3.1 does appear to encode the username:password correctly in HTTP Auth Manager
Adding a slight variation of #yurko which uses the username & password from User defined variables. (for Jmeter prior to 3.2)
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
String username = vars.get("USERNAME");
String password = vars.get("PASSWORD");
String combineduserpass = username + ":" + password;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64(combineduserpass.getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));
Updating good findings from your 2013 answers:
The HTTP4 option also works under current Jmeter version 2.13
after adding HTTP Header Manager row containing:
name="Authorization", value="Basic [base64-encoded user/password string]"
Verified on current host amazon linux having reverse proxy from apache 2.4 to tomcat8; tomcat8 recognized the user credentials instead of throwing 401 status.
