How to add X-Forwarded-For Request Header in JMeter?

I am setting up a performance test with load I have set of 100 GET requests sample request as below:

http://34.202.108.112:8080/adserver/html5/inwapads/?sleepAfter=0&adFormat=preappvideo&ak=c39ca252e3605ca216f05d4c6ed18b08&version=1.0&fullscreen=1&vdo=1&requester=dashbid&channelType=site&pageURL=http%3A%2F%2Fibtimes.co.uk&siteName=ibtimes.co.uk&refURL=ibtimes.co.uk&*ipAddress=212.232.34.134*&ua=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Linux%3B+Android+5.0.1%3B+SCH-R970+Build%2FLRX22C%29+AppleWebKit%2F537.36+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%29+Chrome%2F47.0.2526.83+Mobile+Safari%2F537.36&cb=1477379953087252374&target_params=latlong=57.6198/39.8554|geoType=1&size=x&dnt=0&output=vast;vdocookieid=af7d5dc67d7cd4e9f4a56f09d0b1046b 2351daf4-3fb3-4d5c-890c-c32672e036df 35c720f4-5bb3-45f3-b5b1-be9fcd5f2f5d

All set of requests have different ipAddress , What I want to add X-Forwarded-For Request Header for each request which has value same as ipAddress in request .

Any suggestions would be of great help.

If you are getting these IP addresses from CSV file you can just add a HTTP Header Manager and configure it like:

JMeter add request header

If you have 100 requests with hard-coded IP addresses (i.e. coming from recording) it is still possible, but you will need to do some scripting

  1. Add HTTP Header Manager to your Test Plan (same level as the HTTP Request samplers)
  2. Add JSR223 PreProcessor to your Test Plan (same level as the HTTP Request samplers)

  3. Put the following code into JSR223 PreProcessor "Script" area

    import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Header

def address = sampler.getArguments().getArgumentsAsMap().get("ipAddress")
def headerManager = sampler.getHeaderManager()
headerManager.removeHeaderNamed("X-Forwarded-For")
headerManager.add(new Header("X-Forwarded-For", address))

The above code will look for ipAddress request parameter and if it will be found it will add the relevant X-Forwarded-For header to the request
