JMeter with socket-based binary protocol

[d***@daune-consult.com]

Hi all,

I have developed a custom socket-based binary protocol, and I would like to use
JMeter to test my server.

I just want to read some files containing prepared messages, send them one after
another and store somewhere the response (as binary file)

I am new to JMeter, and after reading the documentation, I have not found that
much information on how to do it.

The TCP Sampler seemed to be the one to use, but it uses a String request data.
And my messages are binary.

Maybe I am just trying to use JMeter for something it is ont designed for ?

Or I need to write my own plugin to handle this case ?

Any help is welcome.

Regards,

J-F

you'll probably have to write your own plugin using your custom
driver. look at how the TCP sampler works for reference.

Or you can write the code in the BeanShell Sampler.
