[Grinder-use] Dynamically changing the content of HTTPRequest defaultdata

[Antonio O. <ant...@sc...>]

Hi,

I'm load testing a web api call used to import data into my application, I
used the proxy recorder to record my session and it generated the following
call (slightly edited)

request3 = createRequest(Test(203, 'POST importWeb'), url0)
request3.setDataFromFile('http-data-0.dat')
result = request3.POST('/importWeb',
        request3.getData(),
        (NVPair('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data'), ))


and created the file "http-data-0,dat" with contents:

-----------------------------1705984948108958842379964678
> Content-Disposition: form-data; name="report_id"
>

When running load tests the report_id that this data is supposed to be
loaded to will change everytime, but the proxy recorder has hardcoded it in
the http-data-0.dat file. How can I modify it during runtime?
