Question

I have set up several http request samplers in Jmeter that have either get or post parameters and they are all working fine. However, I am having some trouble setting up http request samplers that post to a URL that has get parameters (i.e. http://www.mydomain.com/myApp.cfm?id1=1&id2=2). The problem that I am having is that, in the response data tab of my View Results listener, it shows that myApp.cfm is complaining that id1 does not exist.

My configurations of the http request sampler are as follows,
1) Server Name or IP: http://www.mydomain.com
2) Path: /myApp.cfm?id1=1&id2=2
3) Method: Post
4) Parameters:
Name: id3
Value: 3
Include Equals: True

My question is, how can I use http request sampler to post to a URL that has get parameters?

Thanks in advance

I’m not really familiar with ColdFusion script and I don’t know how you could trick jMeter to get your url params in a POST request (cuz’ POST has its params in request body).
See this discussion about mixing POST and GET.

Have you tried to save your test using BadBoy or JMeter Proxy to see what your application actually sends? To see what happens under the hood you can also use FireBug if you’re using FireFox or Ctrl+Shift+i if you’re on Chrome.
