Description David Bronner 2006-09-21 00:59:36 UTC 
In JMeter 2.1.1, 403 redirects from https pages could be parsed by regular
expression post processors.  In JMeter 2.2, the same script seems to skip over
the post processor step, leaving the variable as the string ${variable} instead
of replacing it with the match or non-match contents.  

The following script correctly runs the RE extractor in 2.1.1, but not in 2.2. 
Feel free to trash this login...it's just a spam collector.  Only the last (3rd)
RE is relevant to the bug.  The other two are just to setup the page.  Also,
this is just a public site I found to test this...please don't run any real load
against it.

Comment 1 David Bronner 2006-09-21 01:01:05 UTC 
Created attachment 18895 [details]
This script runs correctly in 2.1.1, but not in 2.2.

Sorry, I didn't know I could attach a file after the initial comments.
Comment 2 Sebb 2006-09-21 22:50:12 UTC 
The RE code was changed in 2.2 to check for responseData length = 0,
rather than checking it for null. Both checks are wrong, as there is
no need to check the body if the RE is matching against the Headers or
URL, but presumably the responseData was not null in 2.1.1.

The solution is to remove the data length check, and let the RE run against an
empty body if necessary.

Fix applied to 2.2 branch; it is in the nightly version: 2-2.20060921

Please let us know if whether or not this fixes the problem.
Comment 3 David Bronner 2006-09-21 23:58:38 UTC 
The checked-in code fixes the problem in the example script and my original
script.  Thanks!
