Session (-SESSION)
Use the Session adapter command (-SESSION) to coordinate an HTTP request and response.
This is a required command.
-SESSION session_id [*]
- Option
- Description
- session_id
- Specify the session identifier used for matching purposes. When receiving the HTTP request in a map, this contains the agent-assigned identifier. This identifier must be returned in the HTTP response.
- *
- Permits all HTTP session ID's to be passed from the input card to the output card. You must enter a space between the -SESSION command and the asterisk (*) option for it to process correctly.
For example, if you specify:
-url localhost:8080/example -session * -type text/html -tv+
This command specifies the following:
- specifies the entry to search for the HTTP server called localhost on port 8080 and request the /example page.
- allows all session id's to be passed from the input card to the output card
- specifies text/html as the MIME Content-Type for the file used in the adapter request
- enables a verbose trace file called m4http.mtr in append mode
