Looking at the header and the "Upload" in the path of your request i guess you have recorded an upload transaction with your tablet correct?

What type of request do you get in NeoLoad. Is it a POST multi-part request type?

My assumption is that you are seeing the content of a file that is uploaded? And maybe that file is in a zip format?

What exact NeoLoad version do you use?

Hi again,

I catch my request in fiddler then I copied the hexa in a gzip file.
I decompress it manually and now I have a file with a XML file
like this

<Data>
<InsertUpdates>
<Table schema="" name="Devices">
<Updates>
<Row DEV_ID="52" DEV_RealID="VST_DEV1" DEV_Desc="VST_DEV1" DEV_Language="1" DEV_FEVersion="W8_4.6.0.40968" DEV_Modules="1" DEV_LSync="2015-07-03 09:21:58.053" DEV_Flags="2" USR_ID="88" DEV_CRC="CFj+6Rvf2AdC8eSdsMRCFw==" />
</Updates>
</Table>
</InsertUpdates>
</Data>

Can I replay it ?

You can try to replay it but i'm afraid that your server expect a gzip content. If you do not want to modify the content of that XML file, you can let the POST binary request as is with the binary data. NeoLoad will replay it as is.

If you need to modify the content i guess you will have to zip the content before sending it.

Otherwise, please try the procedure below to see if NeoLoad is able to uncompress your data automatically.

  1. Stop NeoLoad
  2. Edit <install_dir>\conf\controller.properties
  3. Go to [Recorder] section and add in a new line: decode.gzip.request=true
  4. Save
  5. Start NeoLoad
  6. Try a new recording

Could you try to make your recording with Neoload 5.1? Normally that version should automatically uncompress Gzip content on the request when possible?

It's not the case with NeoLoad 5.0.xx.

I think that the issue might be related to the Content-Encoding header that is missing.

I guess if you add "Content-Encoding: gzip" in your POST request and send it to another proxy like Fiddler (it can also be another NeoLoad) then your request content will be uncompressed.
