Hi All, I have a custom feeder that feeds me urls and I want to make sure my requests are grouped by url (so that I get metrics per url), but the above does not work, means the get is resolving the parameter, but http does not (the output actually shows “${url}”. Is this a bug? Or a missing feature? Or am I doing something wrong? Should this work? - RT

Hi,

Which version do you use? This is a new feature of 1.3.5 that's been  
released yesterday.
