Description Richard Stedham 2004-04-06 14:23:53 UTC

Found in JMeter 2.0
Using the HTTP Sampler with the 'Retrieve all embedded resources from HTML 
Files' ticked. When a resource that does not have a content type defined on the 
web sever is accessed a null pointer exception occurs on line 563 of 
HTTPSampler.
Tracked this down to res.getDataType() being called, which uses a private 
string dataType in SampleResult that is not initialised. I have fixed this on 
my build by setting it to "" on initialisation and this works.

Thanks for reporting this.

Fixed by making getDataType the parameter for the equals() method, rather than 
the object.

[This allows dataType to be null - if this proves necessary...]
