Hi Sebb, Your reason on JMeter proxy not supporting HTTPS : 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. 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.
Please read the user manual. The samplers are the entries in the test plan that generate samples, e.g. by doing a GET of a particular URL.
No support for HTTPS is a bottleneck for using JMeter in black-box testing of secured sites.
No, it just means that you cannot use the JMeter proxy to generate the test plan. You can always generate the samplers manually, or by using Badboy.

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. > Regards, > Kakoli > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
