Note that in addition to the usual options, you can also use a table view, which is designed for posting form parameters. For details, see Table Input Options.

Transport Options

The Transport options allow you to determine whether the client sends requests using HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1, JMS, SonicMQ, WebSphere MQ, RMI, SMTP, or TIBCO protocols—or a custom protocol (To select a custom method, choose CUSTOM then enter the name of your custom method in the Value field that displays). To configure the properties of each protocol, select the appropriate protocol from the Transport drop-down list.

For more information, see the following sections:

• HTTP 1.0
• HTTP 1.1
• JMS
• IBM WebSphere MQ 1
• SonicMQ
• RMI
• SMTP
• TIBCO Rendezvous

• Valid HTTP Response Codes: Allows you to customize the tool behavior so that it succeeds with HTTP response codes outside the 2xx range. Specify single codes and/or code ranges as a comma-separated list. For example, if you use "302, 500-599", a 302 code or any code in the 5xx range will be accepted. If you're using a parameterized value, be sure that the value in the data source uses this same format (e.g., "302, 500-599").

• Timeout after (milliseconds): Specifies the length of delay (in milliseconds) after which your FTP, telnet, or HTTP requests should time out. The Default setting corresponds to the timeout set in the Preferences panel. The Custom setting allows you to enter a timeout. A non-positive timeout value can be entered to specify an infinite timeout.

• Fail the test on timeout: Select this option to fail the tool on the specified timeout.
• Pass the test only if a timeout occurred: Select this option to pass the tool if the specified timeout occurred (i.e. tool did not finish execution within the specified time).

• Outgoing Message Encoding: Choose Custom from the drop-down menu and choose an encoding for the outgoing message. The default is to use the encoding configured in the immediate parent test suite (see Specifying Client Options). You can also specify this option globally in the Parasoft Preferences Misc settings (see Additional Preference Settings Settings).
