This issue is that only post() currently support formParam.
Is it intended that you want x-www-form-url-encoded ContentType for a method different from POST?

It is not intended.
This issue is only with put() method.
when I use formParam with put() method, I get this error: value formParam is not a member of io.gatling.http.request.builder.HttpRequestBuilder
Thanks,

I added support for x-www-form-urlencoded params for PUT (and other methods as well) only yesterday and it will be available in 2.1: [https://github.com/gatling/gatling/issues/2366](https://github.com/gatling/gatling/issues/2366)
Honestly, it’s pretty exotic, you’re the first one to ever report doing such a thing.

Thanks for the info Landelle, I tried to upgrame gatling to 2.1 [Sonatype OSS Snapshots repository](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/) using maven.
Unluckily, I could not succeed to migrate to 2.1
Can you share the procedure to migrate to 2.1 using mavin.

Can you provide maven repository ([http://maven-repository.com/](http://maven-repository.com/)) for 2.1 version that support for x-www-form-urlencoded params for PUT.
