| title | Parameterizing WCF binary requests: |
|---|
|
- You can parameterize textual tokens embedded into binary requests, such as AMF requests used in Flash and AIR applications. A token can be surrounded by a binary unreadable message. Just select the recorded token, right-click and in the variable picker, select a variable to replace the token.
- WCF binary requests can be parameterized as easily as regular text encoded requests because StresStimulus decodes them and displays them as text. The message "Format: WCF binary" will appear on the toolbar.

| title | Parameterizing RESTful requests: |
|---|
|
To parameterize a RESTful GET request (without a query string), replace any sub-string of the URL with a variable. For example, if you recorded the request http://example.com/resources/item01 , then you can replace the "item01" with a dataset value or extractor. |
