Jmeter - use csv for setting http header

I want to set header for each request.

header is - "token:value"

For every request this header value will be different and I have a csv file having all tokens listed there. Now, like we use csv for POST data values, I want to use this csv file to set header for each request.

CSV file - "token1,token2,token3"

How to do this in jmeter ?

the idea is pretty good, if the referer field is widely used.

I'm not sure that you can use CSV data sets, because it reads ONE line for each user/ thread.

In a situation similar to yours, I had to use a __CSVread function, that allows to manually control if and when to read the next line.

Refer to: "CSVRead">http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#_CSVRead"

To achieve your goal, you should do following for each request:

  1. Add HTTP Header Manager:

enter image description here

2 . Add CSV Data Set Config configured like this:

If request the same but header changes, then you obviously need CSV Data Set Config element. Example of usage you can find in %JMETER_HOME%/bin/examples. If requests are different then I'm not sure it makes sens to use CSV file.
