[LoadUIWeb] Simulate File Transfer

Hi, 



I have a problem with WebLoadUI Pro. I'm trying to load test a website, but in the normal workflow a file has to be uplaoded. But when I go to playback a recording the file transfer itself doesn't seem to be happening. 



Is this normal? I need this to be simulated during these tests to see if bandwith is impacted with multiple users. Is there a way to simulate this? 



I tried with Jmeter and this seems to work fine. Would this be a limitation of LoadUIWeb Pro? 



Thanks, 

Louis-Philippe

    It works for me with LoadUIWeb 2.90. Are we talking about a standard HTML <input type="file"... element within a <form enctype="multipart/form-data"...? Or is it some custom client/server upload component? Also, what size file are you posting?



    The confirmation of this functionality is from my IIS log file, where 5890141 is the number of posted/received bytes on the server-side...

    Hi SmartBear Team,

    I am also having a problem with uploading a file in my load testing. We are running LoadUIWeb Pro v2.95 on Window 8 and recorded browser is IE10. The file is uploaded during the Verify Scenario. But when I ran with 50VU, the document is not uploaded to any of the 50VU. It is a PDF of 572kb and every VU is uploading the same document from the same location C: drive. I saw in your reply you are asking some technical question, so I have attached the screen shot of the Scenario. Hope this help.

    Sorry, the Verify Scenario does not upload the document. The document is uploaded during Recording Scenario. Here is the Text format:
