When asking the HTTP samplers to download embedded resources it will fail the entire request if any of the embedded resources fetching has failed (for example a CSS which doesn't exists). I would like to have an option to ignore such errors. For example, I would like to use JMeter to generate a load which tests a switch I wrote - but if it fails for embedded resources I can't tell if the reason to the error was my switch or something else (a 404 errors on embedded resources are very common). I would like to be able to run a full success scenario using JMeter w/o my switch, then to plug-in the switch and see the difference.
Note that this issue generates StackOverflowException when displaying built Results in Tree (because children node and parent nodes are the same): 2012/01/01 23:16:27 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Test failed! java.lang.StackOverflowError at javax.swing.tree.TreePath.<init>(TreePath.java:98) at javax.swing.tree.TreePath.<init>(TreePath.java:98) at javax.swing.tree.TreePath.<init>(TreePath.java:98)
