I have a web test where a page is not being reached (Error 302) When I use VSTS
When I copy/paste the URL+query string and paste into IE it works fine.
Is there a limit on the size of the Query string.
If I go the preceiding page:
Outside of VSTS if I select a picture it works fine - goes to the page displayed in the 1st URL

Web page not found in VSTS

You are getting a 302.
When I run this in I.E. I am not redirected.
What is causing the 302, when it does not appear in I.E, and when a cut/paste goes to the correct web page

I just verified that redirect = true - Hopefully an e-mail will help.

This is happening in IE, but IE does this without showing the user. It just does the redirects.
In the web test editor, click on the request for which this happens. Check that the follow redirect property is set to true.

I do not see 4 requests, however that is likly to be related to pulling the URL out of the middle of the test.
Start with http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/home.aspx,
press Creative - This sends you to
http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/homeCreative.aspx.
In the quick search box type Dolphin and press search This sends you to
http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/classes/FrameSet.aspx &UQR=urvnec&pk=4&source=front&lightboxView=1&txtSearch=Dolphin&selImageType=7&chkLicensed=on&chkRoyaltyFree=on
Click on a picture This shows you the image detail.
Stop the recording, then replay it.
Thanks, Tom

Tom,
I'm going to bump this thread over into the VSTS for Testers Edition thread where they will be better able to answer a question about web testing.
Thanks,

Tom,
When I record your steps, I get the results below. Copy this out into notepad to see it more clearly. Are these the results you are seeing. 2 requests failed because of dependent link problems. But this shows the 4 requests I was talking about. You have 3 302 requests and then the 200.
