HTTP Streaming Tasks - Installing, Loading And Using Custom Tasks

Installation Instructions

The HTTP Streaming tasks are provided as PureLoad/PureTest custom tasks. This means that the tasks must be installed into the extensions directory.

Install the custom tasks by extracting the distribution (.tar or .zip) file info <install-dir>/extensions, where <install-dir> is where you have installed PureLoad or PureTest.

Loading And Using Custom Tasks

Tasks delivered as custom tasks are not included in the list of standard tasks by default. Custom task can be loaded into PureLoad (or PureTest) in one of two ways:

  1. Loading a PLC-file that includes the custom task types.
  2. Using the "Task Types" sub tab of the "Scenarios" editor and choose "Tasks->Load All Custom Tasks".
    Task_Types_sub_tab_of_the_scenario_editor             Menu: Tasks -> Load All Tasks

The recommended way to get started is to load the provided example PLC files found in the <install-dir>/extensions/test/http-streaming directory.

When a PLC file is saved, make sure to include the option "Task Types" so that the task types for all custom tasks is saved.
