Blazemeter/jmeter-http-plugin release v3.2.0

[Baraujo25]

BlazeMeter HTTP v3.2.0

Networking & protocol enhancements release focused on stronger HTTP/2 (h2c) support, DNS integration, authentication improvements, and more robust connection/timing behavior.

Highlights

• Full DNSCacheManager support for JMeter-aligned DNS handling
• BASIC_DIGEST authentication support
• Configurable source address for outgoing connections
• Improved HTTP/2 cleartext (h2c) support, including POST requests and fallback to HTTP/1.1
• Better visibility into the connection handshake process
• Timing fixes and collection of in-flight requests when a Thread Group duration ends

Key Improvements

• Protocol robustness: Stronger h2c negotiation, ALPN handling (fallback to HTTP/1.1 when not specified), and POST support over HTTP/2 cleartext
• JMeter parity: DNSCacheManager integration, BASIC_DIGEST auth, and source-address binding for outgoing connections
• Reliability: Fixed subsample timeout doubling, sampler timing issues, and proper collection of in-flight requests at Thread Group end
• Enhanced connection handshake observability
