Assertions aren’t smart enough to do the right thing with redirected requests – currently the 302 response would be asserted against. You can get around this by recording your test plans and leaving “follow redirects” off. Alternatively, the latest JMeter release (after 1.9.1) has an option to allow the redirects to be handled by the Java libary routines. Earlier versions of Java did not support redirects properly, but if you want to try, just define the following JMeter property: HTTPSampler.delegateRedirects=true JMeter will then not see the redirects at all.
