Summary: Pb Default_headers / Host: field when working with >1 site

Initial Comment:
When I capture a script involving more than one 
distant site (let's say 2, site1 and site2 on <host1> 
and <host2>, IBM WebSphere 5.0 on Windows 2000), the 
capture :
- creates only one DEFAULT_HEADERS constant 
containing "Host: <host1>",
- does not record the Host: header field in the WITH 
{...} clause of the URIs to site1
- does record the "Host: <host2>" header field in the 
WITH {...} clause of the URIs to site2 (as the last 
field).

a) When I replay the exact captured script, it seems 
to work fine.

b) Then when I change the order of the fields in the 
WITH clause of the URIs to site2, I get 400 errors 
(BAD Req).

c) Then when I add a new DEFAULT_HEADERS2 constant not 
containing any "Host: " field and I use it in all the 
URIs to site2 instead of the first one, it works fine.

I don't really know why it works in a) and not b) 
(there is or there is not a conflict on the duplicate 
Host: fields depending on they position) ; however I 
believe there should not be any duplicate "Host:" 
field.
IHMO the best would be that the capture creates two 
distinct DEFAULT_HEADERS constants with their 
respective "Host:" field, and no "Host:" field in the 
WITH clauses.

This is not a bug, and certainly not a "Serious" one!
The script works as it is recorded, if you edit and it fails
then it is just a scripting error.

Please discuss problems on the OpenSTA Users Mailing list to
verify if and what the actual bug report should be before
making entries into the bug database.  This specifically
goes for information on why your a) case works but b) doesn't.

This report will be deleted.
