Question

Is it possible to set a global property to automatically retrieve all embedded resources from html files in JMeter. I know we can check/uncheck this in a Http Request in a plan, and in Http Request Defaults, but is there a similar option in a .properties file.

Also, if I do check the option on a Http Request Defaults element, how do I disable it for a individual Http Request in the plan?

Answer 1

It is not yet possible as of 2.8, there is an enhancement request for this:

Regarding the second question, the answer is here:

• http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request_Defaults

See note:

   Note: radio buttons only have two states - on or off. This makes it impossible to
   override settings consistently - does off mean off, or does it mean use the current 
   default? JMeter uses the latter (otherwise defaults would not work at all). So if    
   the button is off, then a later element can set it on, but if the button is on, a 
   later element cannot set it off.
