BlazeMeter HTTP v3.2.0
Networking & protocol enhancements release focused on stronger HTTP/2 (h2c) support, DNS integration, authentication improvements, and more robust connection/timing behavior.
Highlights
- Full DNSCacheManager support for JMeter-aligned DNS handling
- BASIC_DIGEST authentication support
- Configurable source address for outgoing connections
- Improved HTTP/2 cleartext (h2c) support, including POST requests and fallback to HTTP/1.1
- Better visibility into the connection handshake process
- Timing fixes and collection of in-flight requests when a Thread Group duration ends
Key Improvements
- Protocol robustness: Stronger h2c negotiation, ALPN handling (fallback to HTTP/1.1 when not specified), and POST support over HTTP/2 cleartext
- JMeter parity: DNSCacheManager integration, BASIC_DIGEST auth, and source-address binding for outgoing connections
- Reliability: Fixed subsample timeout doubling, sampler timing issues, and proper collection of in-flight requests at Thread Group end
- Enhanced connection handshake observability
