This is now done in ProxyControl when the start button is pressed. > - the CA cert is not created until the first SSL request is received, > so the first browser request will fail.

That has been implemented.

Feedback needed on the latest version. Does it work OK for you? What does not work well? Are there any blockers (apart from docs) that mean it could not be used for the next release of JMeter?
