NOTE:
• When you execute the put command, a file
file-name with fixed size and content is created on the
FTP server. When you execute the get command, the device does not save the files obtained from the
FTP server.
• When you download a file that does not exist on the FTP server, FTP tests fail.
• When you execute the get command, use a file with a small size. A big file may result in test failure
due to timeout, or may affect other services for occupying too much network bandwidth.
Configuring HTTP tests
HTTP tests of an NQA test group are used to test the connection between the NQA client and an HTTP
server and the time required to obtain data from the HTTP server. HTTP tests enable you to detect the
connectivity and performance of the HTTP server.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you start HTTP tests, configure the HTTP server.
