I am getting the below error when I am trying to hit a request having Method: PATCH
Using JMeter Version:-apache-jmeter-5.4.1
"java.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH at java.base/java.net.HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpURLConnection.java:487) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpURLConnection.java:596)"
It will be helpful if I get expert assistance to resolve their issue.
Thanks
You need to change "Client Implementation" to HttpClient4 either at "Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler or in the HTTP Request Defaults - this way the change will be applied to all HTTP Request samplers in the HTTP Request Defaults scope
There are diffrent HTTPSampler implementations the Java one uses HttpURLConnection here. As you can see in this bug ticket it does not support PATCH
In user.properties
HTTPSampler.implementation: HttpClient4
or in jmx using
<stringProp name="HTTPSampler.implementation">HttpClient4</stringProp>
