- Start proxy
- Run plan:
 1) First request is OK
 2) Second request gives abnormal:

Comment 2 Felix Schumacher 2018-12-18 09:49:17 UTC
This seems to be a case where the settings of httpclient4.retrycount and httpclient4.request_sent_retry_enabled bites us. Setting them to

httpclient4.retrycount=1
httpclient4.request_sent_retry_enabled=true

or disabling keepalive on the request samplers will get the requests done correctly.

We could probably argue about setting retrycount to 1 as it was a default before 3.0 (see 59103), but I don't think we should enable retrying non-idempotent requests by default.
Comment 3 Philippe Mouawad 2018-12-18 10:09:26 UTC
I found that if we remove the line:

https://github.com/apache/jmeter/blob/trunk/src/protocol/http/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/http/sampler/HTTPHC4Impl.java#L1180

Then it works.

I had compared a HC4 test case with JMeter and the only difference is this header being added.

I remember a discussion somewhere saying that we should not be sending this header anymore.

Do you think it's a HC4 issue or JMeter issue ?

Thanks

Ignore my comment, it's stupid.

There is still a difference. 
Comparing logs with HC4 only where I have added Connection:keep-alive , I notice HC4 discards the connection, not JMeter which explains why it works with HC4.
But now I have to find why it is discarded and if it's regular.
Comment 5 Philippe Mouawad 2018-12-18 13:13:36 UTC
I reproduced issue with HC4:

    
    @Test
    public void bugWithPostAndProxy() throws Exception {
        PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager pHCCM = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(2000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
        pHCCM.setDefaultMaxPerRoute(5);
        pHCCM.setValidateAfterInactivity(1700);
        HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("localhost", 8888, "http");

        RequestConfig config = RequestConfig.custom().setProxy(proxy).build();

        try (CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom().
                setConnectionManager(pHCCM).
                setDefaultSocketConfig(SocketConfig.DEFAULT).
                setConnectionTimeToLive(2000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).
                setRetryHandler(new StandardHttpRequestRetryHandler(0, false)).
                setConnectionReuseStrategy(DefaultClientConnectionReuseStrategy.INSTANCE).
                build()) {
            HttpHost target = new HttpHost("jmeter.apache.org");
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost("/404.html");
            request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
            request.addHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
            request.setConfig(config);
            HttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext();
            httpContext.setAttribute(HttpClientContext.USER_TOKEN, "Thread Group1-1");
            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(target, request, httpContext)) {
                logger.info("Headers:{}", response.getEntity().toString());
                EntityUtils.consumeQuietly(response.getEntity());
                logger.info("Headers:{}", response.getAllHeaders());
            }
            request = new HttpPost("/404.html");
            request.addHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(target, request, httpContext)) {
                EntityUtils.consumeQuietly(response.getEntity());
                logger.info("Headers:{}", response.getEntity().toString());
                logger.info("Headers:{}", response.getAllHeaders());
            }
        } 
    }
Comment 6 Philippe Mouawad 2018-12-18 15:23:38 UTC
So issue is on JMeter side as per Oleg help.

To run a real proxy using Docker and squid:
https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/master/httpclient5-testing/docker/BUILDING.txt


git clone httpclient repository
then go to httpcomponents-client/httpclient5-testing/docker

---
cd apache-httpd
sudo docker build -t httpclient-tests-httpd .
sudo docker run --name my-httpclient-tests-httpd -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 -p 0.0.0.0:8443:8443 -d httpclient-tests-httpd:latest
---

= Squid 3.3 container

Remark: omit sudo command if executing as root
---
cd squid
sudo docker build -t httpclient-tests-squid .
sudo docker run --name my-httpclient-tests-squid --link my-httpclient-tests-httpd:test-httpd -p 0.0.0.0:8888:8888 -p 0.0.0.0:8889:8889 -d httpclient-tests-squid:latest
---



Indeed it works.

I think the fix is probably to disable KeepAlive when we sample the created request from Proxy.

Thoughts ?
