I have created an HTTP request to upload the file but I am getting 400 Error.

Following is the data I am using to perform the test.

  1. The file type is CSV and verified the same by keeping the file in Jmeter bin folder and outside as well.
  2. HTTP request which is getting sent to the Server.

  • What is the difference between your Request headers and Request header sections? It also seems that you have unsubstituted token there ${extractedCSRF}

  • In request header 1, I have shown the data after the request is sent to the server. In request header 2, I am showing data of the header, which is I am using.

  • @AlexeyR. ${extractedCSRF} is a variable which is carrying the value of csrf token.

If you want to upload the file my expectation is that you should be using Files Upload tab of the HTTP Request sampler

  1. Tick User multipart/form-data box
  2. Switch to Files Upload tab
  3. Configure File Path, Parameter Name and MIME Type sections:

  4. Remove Content-Type header from the HTTP Header Manager - assuming above setup JMeter will generate proper boundary value itself:

Be informed that according to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter (which is JMeter 5.0 as of now) so make sure to visit JMeter Downloads page and fetch the latest available version from there asap.
