Hi Rick,

My fine DevOps team is desirous of putting my site behind nginx. Sounds like a lovely idea to me. I am using Websurge to do some sanity testing and for the most part it has done the trick. I used the capture web requests route to log in, then go through a bunch of application pages. The one place at the moment where this falls down on playback is it doesn't seem to be able to capture the interaction with my local file system and the plUpload container. Honestly, I didn't really expect it to work but am curious if this is something that the Websurge request can be manually or otherwise edited to pick up the file(s) chosen out of the file system.

TIA

The recorder can't pick up binary file uploads over a 2mb (I think). This is due to a limitation in the Chromium engine and what the client API can see when requests are processed (long story there).

But you can add files manually and upload them using the Form Picker and selecting multi-part forms. From there you can add variables and binary attachments.

It's not the same as what you get from plUpload (which chunks uploads) but it at least lets you upload files.

Thanks. I don't think I was uploading a particularly large file. It's picking up the user interaction once in the JS container where I made my assumption about lack of visibility during the recording process. IAC I was able to do enough other testing of my site requests getting routed through nginx without having to manually click around. However, that's a handy trick to manually embed the file to upload into the websurege file. Thanks again.
