Display decoded URLs whenever possible

Hide HTTP request/response content larger than (kB)

Select to hide data larger than a specific size. The Content area in a response indicates the size of the hidden data and whether it is binary. To display hidden data, press Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar.

Show in all requests

Select to display the host and port information in every request in the Test Contents area of the test editor. A test often contains many server connections. When you clear this preference, it is easier to read a test.

Show when different from primary request

Select to display the host and port information in the Test Contents area of the test editor for requests that use a different connection than the primary request.

Skip responses with binary contents

Select to skip binary response data when you enable content verification points in a test. Content verification points verify whether specified strings are present in response data.

Create only in primary responses

Select to limit the creation of content verification points to primary responses when you enable content verification points in a test.
