there was an enhancement contributed recently for faking HTTPS recording. I
don't know if it was added before the last release. it might have been
after.

Can you throw some more light on this since I am not so conversant with
the nitty gritty of samplers from a developer's view-point.

No support for HTTPS is a bottleneck for using JMeter in black-box testing
of secured sites.

Thanks & Regards,

No, this is because it is not possible to extract the information
needed to construct the samplers from HTTPS traffic. If it was, then
HTTPS would not be secure.

I don't know if it has been fixed in Java 1.5.

This is referring to a different proxy usage, where JMeter uses a
proxy to contact remote servers via a proxy.

The JMeter proxy server is where JMeter is acting as a proxy, and you
tell the browser to connect via the JMeter proxy for the purpose of
creating samplers in a test plan.
