Hi David,

Interesting question! I haven't tried this, but it might be possible to
achieve this something like:

- Put each HTTP request sampler which can have redirects in a while loop
controller, with a boolean flag controlling whether the loop should be
execute. Intially set this flag to TRUE
- Set the server part of the URL for the sampler to the correct server
address, and the path part to a variable - say call it URL_PATH. Initialise
URL_PATH to the initial path - "/someapp/servlet" per your example
- Add a bean shell post processor (BSPP) to the sampler. The BSPP should
check the response from the sample to see if it a redirect. If so, it=
 should
update URL_PATH to the redirect location. If not, the BSPP should set the
loop control variable to FALSE

I THINK this structure would allow to follow redirects on the same server=
 to
an infinite depth. Its fairly convoluted, so there may well be a much=
 easier
way! However, once you have it working for 1 URL, it should be the same for
all others.

Let me know how you get on!

Hi,

I considered this, however the product we're testing against can throw 1 to=
 n
redirects (the largest number I have seen so far is 7 in a row).  Otherwise
that would work nicely!

For example

/someapp/servlet redirects to /someapp/another_servlet redirects to
/someapp/next_servlet redirects to /someapp/final_servlet

Thanks

David.
