Problem emitting SOAP/XML messages from the SOAP/XML-RPC Request
Sampler.

I was unable to get any output from this sampler which prompted a bit
of debugging.

It seems that the HTTPRequest and the subclass SOAPSampler between them
are getting confused about the state of the connection.  The HTTPSampler
is setting some header elements (content length, mime type), then
opening the connection, then if the request type is post it tries to
add the soap message in the subclass SOAPSampler.  However, the=20
SOAPSampler needs to set the mime type and the content length
but the connection is now open. See (J2SDK1.4.1 java doc for=20
URLConnection.setRequestProperty())
 An exception (InvalidStateException) is thrown which
causes the finally part of the sample method to be
execute.

To prove this I modified HTTPSample.sampleResult() at around
lines 895 so that if this is a post we add the post content then
open the connection.  In my simple test I only actually have=20
a SOAPSample.  This works producing SOAP in the tcpmon monitor=20
output.

My quick and dirty patch looks like :

HTTPSampler.sample

890  if (!redirected
891       && getProperty(HTTPSampler.METHOD).equals(HTTPSampler.POST))
892     {
893       postWriter.setHeaders(conn,this);
894     }
895     if (!redirected
896       && getProperty(HTTPSampler.METHOD).equals(HTTPSampler.POST))
897     {
898       sendPostData(conn);
899       time =3D connect();
900     }
901     else
902       time =3D connect();

This is not a fix, its a test patch.  It wont work generally;
it will break a simple HTTPSample with a post.

Hope this helps a bit
