Set the whole request url in jmeter

Question

I have a request, which gives upload url as response body.

{
    "uploadUrl": "https://test.com:9000/sample_uploadurl"
}

I'm able to extract the uploadUrl using JSON extractor.

I want to use above upload url to in next http request. How to set the new request here ?

adding directly doent work, because JMeter prepends http/https before request, in this case we already have https.

It got failed because it has https://[https://test.com:9000/sample_uploadurl]

Answer 1

Leave HTTP Request fields empty except Path, put there the variable and it will be executed

As a special case, if the path starts with "http://" or "https://" then this is used as the full URL.

Answer 2

The options are in:

1. Put the whole ${UPLOAD_URL} to "Path" field of the HTTP Request sampler like:

   

   however this approach might be flaky and cause the malfunction of certain configuration elements like HTTP Cookie Manager. So it's better to go for option 2.

2. Split the ${UPLOAD_URL} into individual components like protocol, host, port and path.

   • Add JSR223 PostProcessor after the JSON Extractor

   • Put the following Groovy code into "Script" area:

     URL url = new URL(vars.get('UPLOAD_URL'))
     
     vars.put('protocol', url.getProtocol())
     vars.put('host', url.getHost())
     vars.put('port', url.getPort() as String)
     vars.put('path', url.getPath())
     

   • The above code will generate the following JMeter Variables

     

   • So you should be able to use the generated variables in the next HTTP Request sampler:
