  1. Grinder 2.86 with https problem (4 messages)

    Dear All

      I am using Grinder 2.86 and would like to test some https url. Actually I am using java version 1.4.2 and it
    seems no need to install JSEE. I have followed
    the instruction from web "grinder.sourceforge.net" to set
    the classpath, certificate.. however I received
    the following error: HTTPClient.ProtocolNotSuppException: Unsupported protocol "https"

    Also, when I set my test case to http, I received
    the following log:

    returned a redirect (302). Ensure the next URL is https://.....
    does it mean my test case is successful?

    Thanks

    make sure the plugin you are using is Https:

    grinder.properties:
    grinder.plugin=net.grinder.plugin.http.HttpsPlugin

    scratch that:
    returned a redirect (302). Ensure the next URL is https://.....
    does it mean my test case is successful?

    yes, this is a successful test. setting:
    grinder.plugin.parameter.logHTML=true

    will display the HTML in <log_dir>/page_<hostname>... which will probably look something like this:
    <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>302 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
    <H1>302 Moved</H1>
    The document has moved
    here.
    </BODY></HTML>

    Hi Garcia

       Thanks for your suggestion. I tried to use the plugin in class httpHttpsPlugin, however, I received the following
    error, is there anything I need to set in order to use
    httpHttpsPlugin:

    Error initialising grinder process: net.grinder.common.GrinderException: An inst
    ance of the specified plug-in class could not be created., nested exception: net.grinder.plugininterface.PluginException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: KeyManagerFactoryImpl is not initialized, nested exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: KeyManagerFactoryImpl is not initialized
    net.grinder.common.GrinderException: An instance of the specified plug-in class
    could not be created.

    Also, about the redirect question, as you said it is successful but when I add a test case (grinder.test0.parameter.ok)to test whether the page contains a specific string,it fails. So I wonder if I receive" redirect (302)" in the log file, does it mean
    the grinder is already accessed to the page successfully or not? Thanks

    an HTTP 302 return will not have the string "ok" like an HTTP 200 would have. for a 302 (redirect), the header will contain something like this:
    HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved
    Location: http://localhost/http.html
    Server: Apache
    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: 149

    for a 200, the header will look something like this:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Server: Apache
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Length: 1259
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html

    notice the OK string in the first line of the output. if you can, try chaning the grinder.test0.parameter.url to a page that you know exists and will not return a 302. the result should be what you expect.
