How to download PDF in Jmeter Distributed Remote Testing on remote server? - pdf

I have designed a jmeter script to download PDF using 'Save response to a file' listener.It is working when I executed in local both in GUI and non GUI mode and the PDF is downloaded.But when im trying to run the same script in Distributed remote testing using client(windows 7) and server(windows 7) on the same subnet,unknown and plain files are getting downloaded instead of the the PDF file.
I have given folder path of the server in the Listener.Is there any other way to download the actual PDF instead of those unknown file.
thanks in advance :)

In distributed testing, jmeter uses StrippedBatch mode which strips response data when sending response to controller.
So you need to switch mode to One that does not strip like Standard:
https://github.com/apache/jmeter/blob/trunk/bin/jmeter.properties#L758
So add to user.properties:
mode=Standard

JPG is uploaded in Jmeter but it is corrupt when downloaded

I am trying to upload the jpg file in jmeter and the file is uploaded (not with the right extension I suppose) and when tried to download it then file size is exactly same as the original jpg size but it is corrupt. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I don't like your type="file" Parameter Name:
so most probably the problem is somewhere around this setting.
However I might be wrong, the easiest way of creating the file upload request in JMeter is just recording it using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
The only thing you need to do is to copy your apple.jpg file to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation, this way JMeter will be able to properly capture and generate the relevant HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager

ZIP and CSV file upload issue in Jmeter script which is recorded using Blazemeter

I have recorded a transaction using Blazemeter and trying to validate the same .jmx file in Jmeter 4.0. I have given the correct File path(jmeter/bin folder path) in Files Upload tab and below MIME Types but I am getting below error.
Please suggest.
In the majority of cases you need to tick Use multipart/form-data for POST box in order to be able to upload the files using JMeter:
See RFC 2388 for more details. If you tick this box you need to remove Content-Type header declaration from the HTTP Header Manager
Also be aware that according to JMeter Best Practices you should be always using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.3 (or whatever is the latest JMeter stable version)
And last but not the least, you should be able to normally record file upload requests using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just make sure to copy the file(s) you will be uploading to JMeter's "bin" folder

JMeter 4.0 Upload File issue in PHP Application

I have read so many articles on the Internet regarding Uploading Image files using JMeter but nothing worked for me. Even I have tried the approach using blazemeter plugin but no luck I'm not getting the script in jmx file.
Can someone please help me with this. The script is just passing but actually, Image is not uploading.
I would really require your inputs on this one.
Just record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Copy the file, you want to upload into "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
Start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Perform upload in the browser
That's it, JMeter should capture the request and store it under the Recording Controller
Point 1 is essential, if you omit it - you will neither be able to record the file upload request nor to replay it. Check out Recording File Uploads with JMeter article for more details.

Uploading image file from VBA Excel

I know this question has been asked a lot of times already but unfortunately none of the answers have helped me. I want to upload an image file to my remote Web server (Apache). In my Excel cell, I have the file path of an image and want to use VBA to upload that file to a remote server.
I can't use any 3rd party tool in conjunction (like WinSCP), because that will make my product not very "portable-friendly". I was fine with Windows FTP, but it doesn't seems to be supporting passive mode and hence I also can't use that.
There are some threads which used IE to upload the file, and some which I believe are uploading via POST request by reading file in binary mode.
I want to replicate something similar to uploading files via HTTP POST on a website.

How to read HAR file posted by Selenium Automated Performance Test?

I've used this reference for doing Automated Page Load Performance test in Selenium using Firefox, Firebug and NetExport (A Firebug extension). My final aim is just to extract the page load time from the HAR file. The HAR file gets generated and is stored on the local disk. That works perfectly.
There is a second approach described in the reference I've linked above having a header "Send HAR files to Server". I followed the steps described but not sure about where to save the PHP script shown later. I tried to keep it in http://localhost/har-db and gave the PHP file some name viz. getHARData.php but don't know what to write in the JAVA program so that it will access that file. The file desires to receive a REQUEST parameter but not sure how to make it access the URL it wants as a REQUEST variable. All the code is available on the linked site. I've not done any improvisations except changing the paths of .xpi files of the Firefox extensions.
Any optimized workarounds are most welcome.
