By default when requesting a transaction IxLoad uses an URL with the following format:
http://<IP>/<page/object>:<port_number>
For example when you set the following in the GET command: Destination (IP or IP:port) =1.1.1.1
Page/Object= /1b.html
The URI used will be: URI=1.1.1.1/1b.html
On the real world will not usually see this type of URI. Instead of IP address will see a host name.For example: www.blogger.com/login.html
In the following example I will explain how to setup IxLoad to simulate that is actually a HTTP browser opening www.google.com
Configuration steps:
1. Find out the default object for www.google.com
On an internet browser type www.google.com and se what page it pops-up
2. Set the GET request in the HTTP Client activity as in the following prinscreen:
3. Assign an IP address to the hostname www.google.com
On HTTP client click on NetTraffic Network2 then on DNS settings DNS2 and add a hostname entry for your website
****In case you forget to add the DNS entry you will get an error like this:
