JMeter: org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25132655/the-target-server-failed-to-respond-jmeter I faced the same issue “target server failed to respond” and here is what I did:

In your JMETER test plan you must have added 'HTTP Request Defaults". Click on that and for the Implementation field select HttpClient4 option from the dropdown. Save your test Now in the apache jmeter’s bin folder open the file user.properties and make an entry towards the end of the file as follows: httpclient4.retrycount=1 hc.parameters.file=hc.parameters Now open the file hc.parameters with the same bin folder and make an entry http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true Save these files Restart jmeter The above steps helped me resolving the problem.

I got the solution from https://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterSocketClosed
