In Jmeter using CSV data config element, when entering data like 'D12345' it is taking in the form in the field as "%22D12345%09%22"

Question

Data In the CSV file with Column name 'P' nad value in it : Column Name = P Value in it = D12345

And in the Request Body it is taking as = %22D12345%09%22 and in UI in the field it is showing as ="D12345 "

Answer 1

It seems that the data in CSV file has certain characters which are being percent-encoded, according to the table:

• %22 - is " character
• %09 is a horizontal tab (tabulation character)

So

• if you don't want the characters to be present in the request body - remove them from the CSV file.

• if you want the characters to be present in the request body but in their original form - go for __urldecode() function, see Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction article to learn more about JMeter Functions concept.

  

  or disable the encoding in the HTTP Request sampler
