<body>

<section name="§-num;. Building an Advanced Web Test Plan" anchor="building">
<p>In this section, you will learn how to create advanced
<a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plans to test a Web site.


<p>For an example of a basic Test Plan, see
<a href="build-web-test-plan.html">Building a Web Test Plan.


<section name="§-num;.1 Handling User Sessions With URL Rewriting" anchor="session_url_rewriting">
<p>If your web application uses URL rewriting rather than cookies to save session information,
then you'll need to do a bit of extra work to test your site.</p>
<p>To respond correctly to URL rewriting, JMeter needs to parse the HTML
received from the server and retrieve the unique session ID.  Use the appropriate <complink name="HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier"/>
to accomplish this.  Simply enter the name of your session ID parameter into the modifier, and it
will find it and add it to each request.  If the request already has a value, it will be replaced.
If "Cache Session Id?" is checked, then the last found session id will be saved,
and will be used if the previous HTTP sample does not contain a session id.
</p>

<example title="URL Rewriting Example" anchor="url_rewriting_example">
<p>Download this example. In Figure 1 is shown a 
test plan using URL rewriting.  Note that the URL Re-writing modifier is added to the SimpleController,
thus assuring that it will only affect requests under that SimpleController.</p>
<figure image="url_rewrite_example_a.png">Figure 1 - Test Tree
<p>In Figure 2, we see the URL Re-writing modifier GUI, which just has a field for the user to specify
the name of the session ID parameter.  There is also a checkbox for indicating that the session ID should
be part of the path (separated by a ";"), rather than a request parameter</p>

<section name="§-num;.2 Using a Header Manager" anchor="header_manager">
<p>The  lets you customize what information
JMeter sends in the HTTP request header.  This header includes properties like "User-Agent",
"Pragma", "Referer", etc.</p>
<p>The , like the ,
should probably be added at the Thread Group level, unless for some reason you wish to
specify different headers for the different <complink name="HTTP Request"/> objects in
your test.</p>
