However, scripts are XML (text) files, so it is easy enough to add extra items to them, and I suppose you could extent the JMeter Proxy recorder to generate the additional headers. > Can I access the page context during recording so I can use this > information for script generation.

The Proxy recorder generates a test sample for each request it processes, so there is access to that. Obviously there won't be any page titles in the requests. The Proxy recorder passes back the response to the browser. It does not process the content - except when attempting https-spoofing. However, you could check for titles in the response. > How can I develop custom reporting extensions i.e. a custom load test > report which links to our data.

Not sure that makes sense, as JMeter does not do "session recording". > Any help is highly appreciated.

If the add-ons relate to your commercial product(s), then I suggest you host them yourselves.

It also depends on what the maintenance burden is likely to be. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
