If you use FireFox, then there are a couple of useful add-ons which I find useful for quickly changing proxy settings:
Quick Proxy - adds button to status bar to turn proxy on and off xyzproxy - adds proxy config menu There are of course others; I just happen to have chosen those. S. On 22/05/06, Layton, Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I tried to set browser proxy = jmeter proxy = port 9090 and retried http://127.0.0.1:1080/<pagename> and got a recording!! So it is behaving as if request to local address is served via the proxy. Many thanks ! BTW I am finding that restarting browser and/or Jmeter can make a difference...
