Description Irshad Ahmad 2014-07-25 10:03:11 UTC
Hi Team,

Jmeter is downloading sub requests wihci is if IE 8 only javascript , even though User-Agent is Chrome 30.
Comment 1 Sebb 2014-07-25 22:32:01 UTC
Please provide sample URL that exhibits the problem.
Comment 2 Philippe Mouawad 2014-08-03 13:45:32 UTC
I think what is being reported here relates to embedded resources download.
In this case I suppose there is javascript in conditional block dedicated to IE8 browser.
Is the download feature supposed to handle this ?

Looks like it

JMeter does not interpret javascript so almost certainly it cannot detect this.

I wonder if all browsers detect it?
Without a test sample it's hard to know.
Comment 4 Irshad Ahmad 2014-08-04 04:45:36 UTC
Hi Team,

Sorry for Late reply and Due to Security issues I cannot share the Application URL, Below is the explanation, let me know If you require anything else.

@Philippe Mouawad   : Yes this is about the embedded URL, Actually in Chrome browser this Specific IE8 only js is not downloading, Jmeter User-Agent is set to Chrome 30, but Jmeter is downloading this js file and which is leading to 404 Error. Since 404 error is the issue for Load Test and we are unable to supress the same.

I have below queries.
1. Is there any way in Jmeter we can avoid specific embedded resources?
2. Is there any problem with User-Agent settings?

and this is happening only in Jmeter 10 & 11, but Jmeter 9 works fine:)

Can you share the offending HTML?
The URLs and any other content can be redacted so long as the syntax/structure is retained.

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request
See "Embedded URLs must match"

It looks like the following RE should match all but your URL:

^(?!regex)

where regex matches the URL.

> 2. Is there any problem with User-Agent settings?

JMeter does not change its behaviour based on the User Agent, but your server might.

Probably JMeter 2.9 fails to extract the embedded URL, but without the sample HTML it's impossible to say.
Comment 6 Philippe Mouawad 2014-08-08 14:41:01 UTC
@Ahmad, can you provide request elements by sebb ?
Otherwise we won't be able to fix bug

Thanks
Comment 7 Philippe Mouawad 2014-08-22 22:13:48 UTC
I reproduced issue.
In fact the issue comes from switching :
htmlParser.className=org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.parser.HtmlParserHTMLParser
to
htmlParser.className=org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.parser.LagartoBasedHtmlParser

since JMeter 2.10.

What happens is that HtmlParserHTMLParser simply ignored or was not able to parse correctly this kind of html:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./ie8-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->


So it didn't extract the link.
New parser knows how to extract it.

As a workaround you can switch to :
htmlParser.className=org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.parser.LagartoBasedHtmlParser


@JMeter Dev Team:
To fix issue we need to add user agent as a parameter of HTMLParser#getEmbeddedResourceURLs
And then for example with Lagarto :
- Implement condComment callback in a way similar to what is done here:
https://github.com/oblac/jodd/blob/master/jodd-lagarto/src/main/java/jodd/lagarto/dom/LagartoDOMBuilderTagVisitor.java

where enabled controls wether addition to list of urls to parse should occur or not

Comment 9 Philippe Mouawad 2014-08-24 21:27:28 UTC
Resolved for Lagarto implementation.
For JSoup waiting for answers from group.
For other implementation not sure it is useful to implement this feature.
