Description

**eR@SeR** ([Bug 65270](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=65270&redirect=false)):
Hello,

When POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded request is opened in Code/cURL mode in Postman, then entire lines copied and pasted into "Import from cURL" in JMeter, HTTP Sampler is not generated:

cURL example - more than one --data-urlencode:

curl --location --request POST 'http://example.com/access/token' \
--header 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: 127.0.0.1' \
--header 'Accept-Language: it-IT' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=someID' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=someSecret' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \
--data-urlencode 'username=test' \
--data-urlencode 'password=Password1234'

Error:

It seems that it cannot generate more than 1 --data-urlencode parameter. When one is provided then HTTP Sampler is successfully generated.

-----------------------------

cURL example - blank parameter and value in "--data-urlencode" (if parameter name and value are blank but left checked accidentally in Postman):

curl --location --request POST 'http://example.com/access/token' \
--header 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: 127.0.0.1' \
--header 'Accept-Language: it-IT' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode '='

Error:

ERROR o.a.j.p.h.g.a.ParseCurlCommandAction: Error creating test plan from cURL command list:[curl --location --request POST 'http://example.com/access/token' \
--header 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: 127.0.0.1' \
--header 'Accept-Language: it-IT' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode '=']

cURL example - one "--data-urlencode" parameter:

curl --location --request POST 'http://example.com/access/token' \
--header 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: 127.0.0.1' \
--header 'Accept-Language: it-IT' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'username=test'

HTTP Sampler is successfully created. However, parameter name and value are generated inside the Value column like "username=test", instead of being properly put to Name and Value columns inside the Parameters tab. Check the attached image.
