<h1 id="building">5. Building an Advanced Web Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
</h1>
<p>In this section, you will learn how to create advanced
<a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plans</a> to test a Web site.</p>
<p>For an example of a basic Test Plan, see
<a href="build-web-test-plan.html">Building a Web Test Plan</a>.</p>

<h1 id="session_url_rewriting">5.1 Handling User Sessions With URL Rewriting<a class="sectionlink" href="#session_url_rewriting" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
</h1>
<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 <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_URL_Re-writing_Modifier">HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier</a>
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>
<div class="example">
<div class="title">URL Rewriting Example<a class="sectionlink" href="#url_rewriting_example" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
</div>
<p>Download <a href="../demos/URLRewritingExample.jmx">this example</a>. 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>

<figcaption>Figure 1 - Test Tree</figcaption>
</figure>
<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>

<h1 id="header_manager">5.2 Using a Header Manager<a class="sectionlink" href="#header_manager" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
</h1>
<p>The <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Header_Manager">HTTP Header Manager</a> 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 <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Header_Manager">HTTP Header Manager</a>, like the <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Cookie_Manager">HTTP Cookie Manager</a>,
should probably be added at the Thread Group level, unless for some reason you wish to
specify different headers for the different <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request">HTTP Request</a> objects in
your test.</p>
