Description Ryo Sode 2004-05-19 01:10:00 UTC

When testing a custom web server application, special header (not cookie) is often sent across which is 
used to keep track of the session id. The only way this interaction is automated within JMeter currently 
is for the tester to run regex extractor in the first http sampler and extract that session id that's been 
generated by the server and then embedded in the http response header, then use HTTP Header 
Manager across the thread which uses the variable that's been associated with the ref name in the 
regex extractor.
