JMeter File Upload with HTTP Put Method Not Working - file-upload

The idea is to build a sampler in JMeter that will upload a file using the HTTP PUT method. I'm trying to follow the official documentation to specify the entire content body as a file with no parameter name.
What should happen: The file gets uploaded and the server returns 201: created
What actually happens:
java.lang.NullPointerException: charsetName
at java.lang.String.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.String.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPHC4Impl.sendPutData(HTTPHC4Impl.java:1067)
at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPHC4Impl.sample(HTTPHC4Impl.java:274)

at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:271)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
This seems to indicate that JMeter has a problem with filling out the body of a request. I can get rid of this error by specifying a parameter with the request, but I want the entire body to be the photo data. Here's the CURL line of what I want accomplished:
curl -u testuser:testpass "http://localhost:8080/photo" -T photo.jpg -H "content-type:image/jpeg"
I've tried setting the content-encoding to UTF-8 as I've seen in one post, but that changed nothing.
I'm running Java 1.7.0 on Windows 7 x64. Nothing of interest gets generated in jmeter.log, and wireshark tells me that JMeter isn't sending the request.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Turns out it was a bug that the nice folks at JMeter were able to fix very quickly: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52897
Using the nightly build solved my problem, and by now it has probably made it into the release.

Use Raw HTTP Request to accomplish this. You may specify headers in Request Data and also specify file containing PUT body for convinience.
Some details may be found here

I was having issues with image uploads and found the answers here https://stackoverflow.com/a/2115944/455363.
After making the suggested changes here I had to re-record the transaction and make my edits and I was successfully able to upload files.
Hope this helps.

Which error codes for SFTP error in Mulesoft 3

I have developed an application in mule3 to transform data and then upload the data as a file to sftp location. I have included all common errors, such as http 400 series and 500 but what is a proper handling status code for when ftp fails, for example with file upload, connection or permission.
I have searched a lot on the internet and the more I search the more I get lost.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks
If you are asking for a table for mapping error codes between SFTP and HTTP, there is no standard for it. These are completely different protocols. You have to define your own mapping. Most of them will probably be 5xx in HTTP, with authentication errors probably 403.
Not sure which connector version you use. But if you open the documentation of the SFTP connector, like: https://docs.mulesoft.com/sftp-connector/1.4/sftp-documentation.
You can see the documentation refers to the error that could be thrown, for example the copy operation can throw the following errors.
Based on those errors you should do your logic. Also the HTTP connector is throwing such errors, but then in the HTTP namespace. If needed you can also remap errors to a different and new namespace. Based on your remapped errors you could also implement logic.

Downloading SetupTools in Maximo/Jython fails with HTTP error 403 SSL is required

Appendix A of The Definitive Guide to Jython describes downloading SetupTools for use with Jython.
https://jython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appendixA/
This indicates to me that it should be possible to download and use SetupTools from within a Jython automation script in Maximo (v7.6 in my case). The book points us to the following url to copy a Jython script that will do this:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
I add one line to the above script to call the function "use_setuptools":
use_setuptools()
Then I create a push button on a Maximo application and associate the aforementioned script with the button press I get the following error:
System Message BMXAA7837E - An error occured that prevented the
EZ_SETUP script for the EZ_SETUP launch point from running.
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: SSL is required in at line
number 280
The stack trace points to the following line in the function "download_setuptools" which is called by "use_setuptools":
src = urllib2.urlopen(url)
This appears to be because the url requested, in my case:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg
...is redirected a few times before arriving at the following url:
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/98/d3/ed3bc7e3f4b143092862dab99d984261ac4be6a40d4fb1e66d2a10e9ea99/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg
Note the url uses HTTPS not HTTP. The following indicates why this may be so:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/300/
The jython.jar included with Maximo does not include the ssl module so we could either:
Download the ssl module manually and copy it to the correct location on the server.
Download the appropriate egg file manually over HTTPS and copy it to the correct location on the server.
Bypass the problem by creating a mirror for the file we're looking for that is accessible over HTTP and use that url in the code.
Whilst these are feasible I'd prefer to modify the code to ignore the SSL certificate if possible, however all the workarounds on StackOverflow and elsewhere seem to require that you're able to "import ssl" in order to bypass it which rather seems to defeat the purpose.
Ideally I'm looking for a solution that modifies the code from the url provided above to get it to work with Maximo/Jython 2.5.2 and doesn't require downloading and adding new modules or packages and all that this entails with Maximo. Bypassing or temporarily disabling ssl is fine as the code checks the hash of the downloaded .egg file. This would be my preferred solution if possible.
In my experience, automation scripting works best if you can stay "as Java as possible" and "as Maximo as possible". So, I would use the LIB_HTTPCLIENT script from the Scripting 76 Features document (the first example code, whose name is given by inference in the second bit of code) to try to download the SetupTools.
In case that document moves again, here is the LIB_HTTPCLIENT script. Note that the url variable is expected to be passed to this library script by the calling script.
from psdi.iface.router import HTTPHandler
from java.util import HashMap
from java.util import String
handler = HTTPHandler()
map = HashMap()
map.put("URL",url)
map.put("HTTPMETHOD","GET")
responseBytes = handler.invoke(map,None)
response = String(responseBytes,"utf-8")

Spring Boot, Apache CXF 3.2.5 with MTOM sends empty attachment

I'm having a weird issue with Apache CXF and large (375MB) MTOM attachments are empty.
Running it locally in Eclipse produces the desired results, but deploying it to our server just gives an empty attachment.
The server is written in .NET and doesn't support chunking. With Chunking enabled the client works, but when i disable cunking it fails.
Sadly i'm unable to debug on the server, so i'm restricted to trace logging.
I've tried every trick i've been able to google.
Disable schema validation (CXF-4551) (CXF-7758)
Manually copying the file to java.io.tmpdir before sending, to ensure it can be read.
Custom DataSource
Disable WS-Security
Disable logging interceptor
Nothing seems to make a difference.
Every run i just get something like the following
</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
--uuid:40ef745b-ac3c-4013-bbe7-a9cc28880423
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-ID: <7611ca0a-22f8-4637-b4f7-a5dfe7f20b81-3#www.somewhere.dk>
Content-Disposition: attachment;name="32_2018-03-28_output.xml"
--uuid:40ef745b-ac3c-4013-bbe7-a9cc28880423
Trying with a smaller (2KB) file on the server works just fine. A 75MB file gets attached correctly, but results in a HTTP 400 from the receiver (which i suspect is because the file is not fully transferred)
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this ?
After much trial & error, i finally managed to "solve" this. I enabled schema validation, and the data now appears. This is the exact issue that both bugs in my original question claims to fix.
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
BindingProvider bp = ((BindingProvider) port);
bp.getRequestContext().put("schema-validation-enabled", "true");
I can't add a comment so I'm posting this as an answer.
Jimmy could you perhaps comment on the latest CXF issue and provide some more details? Which version of CXF, what kind of client you are using, real code samples ideally, client logs?

Restcomm Media Player fail to paly file on S3 with error 312

I have a file on AWS S3 that is public:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/voxist-greetings/33631222504/33651291239_95113eed-386b-4264-a4cf-46182faae125COUCOU1.wav
Now when RVD try to play it I get:
INFO [org.mobicents.servlet.restcomm.interpreter.VoiceInterpreter] (RestComm-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-8586) MediaGroupResponse, succeeded: false jain.protocol.ip.mgcp.JainIPMgcpException: The IVR request failed with the following error code 312
I don't know why... The same file used to work with another name.
Thanks for any hint on how to debug this.
The problem seems to happen on Media Server side. More specifically, it seems the file cannot be opened for some reason.
Relevant code line can be found here.
Can you please take a tcpdump and share it, so we can see the MGCP Play request?
Hope this helps.
UPDATE:
Here is an example:
The 200 OK simply indicates that the MGCP transaction completed successfully. Now we need to dissect the notification (NTFY) sent from Media Server to RestComm, mainly the ObservedEvents parameter.
If you look at the picture, you will see the event triggered is an OperationFailed (of) with ReturnCode (rc) equal to 312, which is an error.
Relevant link to specs can be found here.
To summarise, Media Server receives the request to play the file (in this case a cached version of it) but if fails to open the URL for some reason.
Is the URL reachable from Media Server side?

black screen and error 400 bad request

I was trying telnet into a Web server and send a multiline request message. I have to include in the request message the If-modified-since. I made settings for Win7.
For instance when I type telnet edition.cnn.com 80 on my command prompt, it opens a black empty screen, I don't see any thing that I type.
Then I wrote this line on the black screen GET pageName HTTP/1.0, it returned 400 Bad Request Error and says connection closed. What should I do? I used get pagename for an example.
If you want to use e.g. a telnet client to manually get web-pages, you have to remember the format of a HTTP request header:
GET pageName HTTP/1.0
additional header
additional header
Note that the last line is an empty line. You might also need HTTP/1.1 for certain headers to make sense. Please read a HTTP specification for more information and what headers are standard.
The "black screen" is simply the telnet program running in a command window.
400 is an HTTP error code, meaning you did succesfully send a message to the server, it was just invalid HTTP (probably a simple typo)
The black screen and not seeing what you type is 'normal' behavior for telnet (at least I always had that).
If you use a tool like Putty you can see what you type, so it becomes easier to do this sort of thing, and spot your typo.
See the tutorial here: http://www.hellboundhackers.org/articles/571-spoofing-http-requests-with-putty.html
Hope this helps you.
If you need to anything other than basic interaction with the web server I'd suggesting using a tool specifically made for the job, for example cURL. It will allow you set headers etc.
