Bytes code

[kuniteru]

Are #13 and #14 that you pull requested the same changes?

[kuniteru]

I deeply appreciate your contributions.

How does the user fill in the byte array in the message field? I can't think of an intuitive way for users to enter byte array values.

The message type "Base64 encoded binary" is already provided for the purpose of inputting byte array values. Wouldn't it serve the purpose to use this and fill in the message field with the value of the base64-encoded byte array?

Perhaps you are expecting only a variable of type byte array to be entered in the message field? If so, I would like to know of other common Samplers that have a field where only variables can be entered.

If there is such a Sampler, I would like to merge a pull request from you. If there is no such Sampler, I would like to enter a message as "Base64 encoded binary" with a variable already Base64 encoded in a JSR223 Script such as BeanShell or Groovy, or a byte array variable given to the base64Encode function(https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/Functions/#base64Encodesupfont-color-gray-size-1-since-1-2-0-font-sup).

We need the message needs to changed to bytes. It's different from Base64 encode. I am following the same approach as your, you can provide the value in the messaetype files as string, then the sampler convert into bytes during its execution an

Perhaps your message just before was interrupted in the middle?

I now realize that there may be a bug in the "Base64 encoded binary" code. If this is a glitch, and if it can be fixed so that it works correctly, then your goal may have been achieved with "base64 encoded binary". In that case, please let me investigate further, since you would end up with two types for the same purpose.

Hi , I am converting the string message to bytes . I don’t need it to be converted to Base64 encode binary. The input I provide is in string datatype and the conversion of the string to bytes happens in the code. Having Base64 encode binary wont solve my purpose and also creates confusion for the users . Pls do let me know if we need more discussion .

Hi,

Thank you for your patience. I have finally completed the verification of a possible problem with "Base64 encoded binary" and found no problem with it.

You mentioned that you are converting string message to byte, why is that? The "String" message type provided does not meet your requirements?

Or, instead of adding a "Bytes" message type, why not modify the already provided "String" message type as you have written?

[kuniteru]

I had written in a previous comment, "Or, instead of adding a "Bytes" message type, why not modify the already provided "String" message type as you have written?", but this was not possible.

[srikanth-tm]

Yes , you are correct. If we change it , it will change the functionality of string message .
